I live close to a couple of you ladies- I live around Anderson. That's sort of between Amelia and Batavia. LOL

Dr. Curry also did my surgery.....

I also am not a huge fan of Middletown. Just wanted to throw that out there! ^_^

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

I can't help but bash Middletown. I've been a sales consultant for pure romance for 5 years, so I travel a lot. I don't like the way the area is set up, and I've pretty much always dealt with rude customers there. With a couple exclusions of course. :) Oh well, is what it is. Lol

I lived there for 5 years, had 2 businesses there, hate the setup, the city officials (once told the mayor and city manager that they were part of the reason that Forbes called Middletown the 10th fastest dying city in the United States during a city council meeting Lol it was priceless!). I met a lot of great people there, some I have maintained great friendships with. But, I had my share of problems there too. One city that I never care to return to :)

Hi, all - I'm glad to meet up with some locals! I live in Cincinnati about 15 minutes east of downtown and work in downtown Cincinnati. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet (I have to wait till the first of the year as I'm self-pay and will need my end-of-year bonus), but will be using Dr. Watkins in West Chester. I grew up in Mason so I know the area well and still have lots of relatives in the WC/Mason area.

My mom's family came from Middletown originally - in fact, Coles Road in Middletown was named after my maternal great-great-great-great grandfather. it used to be a lot nicer when I was a kid - I haven't been there in a long time, but I understand that it's really gone downhill in the past 20+ years.

I could use some local support and friends to help me on my journey. I'm four years out and have failed at this. The lap band hasn't failed me, I've failed myself. I'm in West Chester. Could use some help, tips, support, encouragement,i deas, etc. None of my friends or close family are morbidly obese so it's hard to relate to anyone in my small circle. I'm not the type of person to ask for help from anyone for anything...but I'm desperate here and realized that by not joining a community such as this for support, I've done myself a huge disservice.

      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.
