I'm in Florida and its odd that now I have to worry about my family in New Jersey for once. All I can say is I will pray for your safety. Living through Wilma was enough for me for the rest of my life. Hope it down grades to a tropical storm by then.

<----Northern NJ and prepared for the unexpected. I feel worse for those who live down by the shore areas and live by rivers/lakes. They usually are the ones who suffer the most. Where I am located we worry about floods and power outages. Winds can bring down trees so that worries me too. I am quite a few blocks from the hudson river which will hit the lower part of my town, I am wayyyy uptown so we are safe in that aspect. Flooding is going to be big, I just made sure the drain in the driveway is clear because that has a tendency to flood the garage/basement if its clogged up. Made sure all the patios chairs are put inside and garbage bins are put against the gate in the backyard so its not flying around the streets.

Be safe everyone!

Good morning all! Here in NJ hoping storm doesn't come - scheduled for surgery Tuesday! And I've been waiting so long. Surgeon won't tell me if it's on or off until Monday.

Anyway, question: I've always been a "stuffer" of food - does the lapband help? From all I've read lap band success is all in the head. Thoughts?

Im in Jacksonville. Lived in Fort Lauderdale for 10 years. It's coming so get prepared they said on the weather channel it has no where else to go but inland once it reaches north. Be prepared. Im sure there will be no electric for about a week so they are saying. Sending in trucks from everywhere in the US to help restore power. You can always have your surgery worry about the storm for now.

      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.
