I just found your mango Salsa recipe, sounds delish and so do thos scallops! You have no problem with your band eating either?

Nope. Scallops are one of my favorites because it is very band friendly for me. Shrimp is not so much. Everyone is different.

Oh that mango salsa recipe was excellent, Except next time I am reducing the purple onion by half. Too much.

Hi Colleen,

I read your blog, I hope you get a surgery date for May. You sound as impatient as me lol! Once I set my mind to something I want it now! As far as I know after my psych appt. I get to see the surgeon and he makes the surgery date for me right then and there. I am so hoping for a May date. I see the nutritionist this Thurs. then the psych. the following Tues. Is this wishful thinking that I will get this done in May?

How do I get one of those weight loss ticker thingys?

It just depends on how far out your surgeon is scheduling. One dr in the practice is already scheduling June. :wacko: Hopefully you will get a close date.

I just decided to get the surgery, as well. I am really nervous about what it will be like to swallow things. I have a little bit of an anxiety thing :P. It looks like my surgery day is going to be on May 25th.

Anyone know why my ticker doesn't show up?? :huh:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
