Surgery went fine- he was in and out in 31 minutes. He said that he could really tell that I worked very hard on the pre-op diet.

I'm still in a LOT of pain and having a hard time. I was dry heaving night before last. I have a LOT of nasuea, but so far no vomiting. I'm having a hard time getting my liquids in as well. Any tips for the fluids and naseau (sp?) would be greatly appreciated.

Count me in for February!

Call and ask for something for the nausea. They can give you something that comes in liquid form or there is also something that dissolves under your tongue. I'm glad that it went well. I would try some warm tea, an icee, Popsicles. Walk, that helps more than anything. Hope you feel better soon, Mandy

I'm sorry to change the subject, but I have a LOT of 2x summer clothes that are now too big (hooray!), and I'd like to pass them on to someone who can come get them. (I'm in Oak Park.) If you're interested, please email me at badmadmama@comcast.net I've been so busy with work and kids that I haven't had a chance to be online...

Thanks, Eileen

Are you going to come to the luncheon? That would be a great time to pass on the old clothes. Maybe we can also make it a clothes swap? ~Mandy

When's the luncheon? I'm way behind in my reading. We went on vacation over the holidays, and last week I had to take my daughter to college in Montana, so I'm also working long hours to catch up. The good thing...I'm down to 175!!! I was setting up my daughter's room, and needed to take off my sweatshirt, because I was getting hot - one of her shirts fit me!!!

Hello friends!

Do we have a place yet? are we thinking the same area? There's a panera there on 59 by mall - by a harlem furniture. you'd think by now i'd know this area better.

I'm for traveling to whereever.

lala - glad it went well!!

Panera is good for me. There is also a mexican place by the Jamba juice, is that any good? ~Mandy

Is the mexican restaurant chipotle or quadoba? Both are really good, but they are more of like a panera, where you pick up the food, and sit down, no waiters, not that I really care, just letting you all know. There is also a On the Border in Naperville on 59 which is an awesome Mexican restaurant so good!!!

I can't remember the name of this place, it is right next door to Jamba juice. It looked good, not a chain type place. If I think of it I'll post it. ~Mandy

If you're thinking of the Jamba juice by Kohl's - then it is a Qdoba. There is a Chipotle up the road in front of Meijer if people prefer that. I personally would choose Qdoba - they have a great vegetarian tortilla Soup.

That sounds good to me too, do they also have meatless Beans? That's the place I was thinking of. ~Mandy

      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.
