I just had my first consultation yesterday. I am in still the gathering stage for insurance approval.

A little bit about me. I am 28. I have an one year old son that is just a big ham. He is too cute. So funny and so happy. I am living in Rhode Island. I am not loving that. I grew up in California and I am sure missing it and my friends. I love music, movies, the Sims and going out to festivals. Hrm.. I really stink at intros. ha ha ha

I hope everyone is healthy and happy!

KD :cake:

Hi KD,

Your intro is better and more informative than mine. I live in Idaho but moved from Anaheim a couple of years ago.

I was banded a few weeks ago and in your position a few short months ago.

Welcome to LBT and good luck with the insurance process!

The Sims are so great. I love Sims 2. I am not addicted to downloading hair for them. I love how far they have come.

      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.
