You go Leona, you are out there and running around all ready, your mom too. I guess the rash is from the anethesia (sp).

Thanks! I am getting steriods for my rash from my surgeon and a different pain medicine because he is making sure I am not breaking out from the pain meds. but I'm doing good- gettin out of the house as much as possible. i'm going to the movies tomorrow night as well! So it hasn't been too bad!

Hello Barbara,

Very good question... My vote is for Sunday the 23rd at 1pm at the Borders Book store in Annapolis. I will send out an e-mail soon and post a new thread with all the needed information. We have so much to talk about and I can't wait to see the whole group back together. All newbies welcome.

Take care K

      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.
