Wow, LisaLisa! Congratulations!!! You did that so fast and I bet you feel so much better, as well. I hope i can be overweight someday real soon. On the surface, that sounds totally wrong to say but as you know...it's the truth. Keep up your great work!

Lisa, I'm not at goal yet. I have 11 pounds to "normal". I had my surgery 2/17/2010, so I'm further out that you all are. It's a great ride, enjoy the journey. You're doing great!

Happy to hear everyone is doing well and reaching overweight!

I'm 1.1 lbs from scheduling surgery! I'm nervous and excited, I've been waiting so long and things are finally going to be moving forward. Yikes!

Hope you're all doing well. I can't wait to post that I actually have a surgery date!

Hi Heather,

I'm so darn excited for you. I've been watching your progress over on the lapband site for over a year. You of everyone I know deserves this surgery so much. I'm really glad you're getting the Sleeve. You're going to love it! Get those darn 1.1 pounds off and get scheduled so we can all start celebrating. :)

Hey Ash, Wednesday night is the 8th anniversary of the Kaiser Bariatric Department. Maybe you can grab one of the girls and come on over to the meeting. It should be fun. I'd love to see you! :)

I just had a phone appt today with Kirk, and now I have an appt with Dr Alami next week. I could have had one tomorrow morning, but I just didn't have enough notice to get the time off work. Dang! I'm hoping to know my surgery date next week! Yippie!

      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.
