Hi all,

I hate to say I am not ready for get together right now. Went to hematologist and while I was waiting to get in to see him, my count went down more. I am feeling very tired and therefore a little down. He gave me Iron to start helping but they still don't know what is causing it so besides still having to go for stress test, they want another colonoscopy. I will really be dragged out!! But, I guess I want them to find the reason. But the surgery seems to be soooo in the distance. I have been keeping track of the digestion problems, and I'm very interested in how you solve it. For my future knowledge, keep us informed. On Dec. 2, I plan on visiting my cousin in RI again. I haven't been there in a long time because of appts. and not feeling up to it so I think I will pass on this get together, and look forward to the next one hopefully AFTER surgery. Looking forward to reading how you all are doing. Nana

Oh nana sorry to hear you're not doing well! But you're right - it is important to find out what is causing your low blood count. Your health is what's most important, and why you're getting the band in the first place. Keep us updated on how things go.

Dez - great to hear from you! I'm game for a meet up. I'll have to check and see about Dec 2nd, but I think Boston would be in the middle. Sherry and I can take the train in from Mansfield. And - I'll be meeting Rainbow the Wed after Thanksgiving when I go in for my fill. I can't wait!!

Awwww...you are so sweet !!!!

Lets do this ! I get so jealous of all the other bandsters out there who have met !! What's a good place that is convenient for all? I am not too familiar with Taunton, but I guess we are all pretty close to some major highways. Next week is pretty crazy with the holiday and then we are heading up to New Hampshire for the weekend, so possibly the following week.

What is good for you guys? Nights? Weekends?

Anyone else from MA interested?

Hello BIDMC groupees lol. Sorry I haven't said much lately. Finding it so hard to keep up with posting, reading with work, gym, Dancing, Reiki...just a busy busy gal I guess. Plus I have house guests so it's hard to get to my computer.

Rainbow - I work in Dedham and Chris is in Manfield. I bet we could work something out :) I'll have to talk with Chrispy on that.

aaamom - That's right there chicky, I'd like to meet ya too!!!! I used to work in Norwood on Access Road until we moved to Dedham. I bet we could find a place on Route one to meet if you wanted to. I know that area pretty good...I can pick up Chrispy and head your way.

Chrispy - I'm soooo ready for Tuesday again. psssssst I hit the 70 pound mark OMG. Only 8 more pounds to go for ONDERLAND. Yeap it stayed at the 70 so I'm keeping it lol

Nana - so sorry you're still having trouble with your bloodwork. Keep going my friend...you'll get to bandland I know you will.

Gotta go hang with the family my friends. Hugs to you all. Hope you're all doing well and shrinking!!!

Sherry~congrats ! Way to go !. Almost there

Hey guys, this get together might actually happen. We are all closer than we think. Lets plan something for after the holidays.

Nights or weekend-what works out best for everybody?

Sheryy, would after work be best for you since you work in Dedham?

How about the new Stoneforge in Foxboro-close to Mansfield/Norwood and highway

Happy Thanksgiving to all !

I could do either nights or weekends. I work in Natick, but I get back to Mansfield around 6pm, so if we were to meet up at the Stoneforge in Foxboro I could be there for anytime after 6pm. If we were to meet up on a weekend, would more people be interested in coming??? I'm so excited!!!

      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.
