Yes, let me know when you're on this side of the pond! Do you have my cell ###?

There is so much food in my house!!!

We had a BBQ today, I had little bits of all my favorites, but my head's not fooled. All those good salads, wings, burgers and pies are calling me!!! If I were smart I'd go for a walk, but I'm just too tired. Everybody just left and this is when I usually go get myself a nice plate of leftovers, as I'm ususally a little too busy to eat much while serving and visiting. I'm really looking forward to my fill, the idea of the small protion at least making the tummy hunger go away will sure help with the head hunger too.

I can walk around 1pm! I have to drop Missy off at noon and then do a fit review on a couple of coats, then I am free before I pick her back up at 2pm. How about the mall?

Pinenut...

It was fun to meet you last night. The mix of the was unusual last night, there are ususally many more people from other doc's there too, and that's the first time in the 3 times I've gone that banders have outnumbered bypasses. Though i think that will be the norm in the future, as the % of banders is increasing. Did you find it helpful/enjoyable? I really like having people with other opinions and other ideas there, it's helpful for all of us.

Hope to see you again sometime.

Hi girls,

Loved walking with Sue and Wendy on Monday My friend, Rachel, really enjoyed meeting you, too. Can't believe I did this, but I REALLY boogered up my foot with a BAAAAAD blister and now it's infected! I had to go to the Dr. today and get antibiotics! Needless to say, I didn't go on that business trip with Dave I was talking about. Supposed to stay off my gimpy foot for a couple days. Sheesh!!!!!

I talked with my sister today who is about 35+ BMI and only about 10 lbs less than me at this point. Tried to gently suggest she might think about the Band since she has insurance through microsoft (that pays EVERYTHING) OOPS. She didn't appreciate that.... Oh well, later a friend called whose brother is considering it and wants some info. Can't push it on people. We all have to come to it on our own.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather. Who wants to push me in a cart while YOU walk? LOL

Hi,

You walking gals must be in the south end. Nice that you can get together. I'm up here in the Everett area wishing I could find a support group or something. My lapband will be done at Virgina Mason in Seattle & my doctor is in Federal Way. I think their support group meets at Virginia Mason in Federal Way. That's a trip for me! I guess its only once a month, though. My son-in-law's sister had bypass surgery there & she's going tomorrow night.

I'm averaging about 400 calories a day trying to get off 30 lb. they want me to lose before my surgery next month! I'm a little more than half way there. I was very grateful to get my surgery date yesterday!

We gotta get you some tennies girl!!!

So sorry to hear about the foot...no fun to miss the trip :rolleyes:

Phyl...

Most all the centers seem to have support groups, and all I've heard of are open to anyone no matter where your surgery was. Maybe call the hospitals, or go on line. i think support groups are really important, I've never talked to anyone who is in our possition who says there's not an emotional component to their weight issues, it's HUGE for me!

      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?

      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.
