Hey...Auntie Phyl...just noticed you signature line, great verse, one of my favorites (obviously, since I have it in my signature too). We all need that strength from time to time!!!

I'm so bummed . . . .I was planning on going to the support group but my girls back-to-school night is on Monday and I need to meet their teachers. I'm hoping to make October 1'st even though I will just be getting back from a cruise that day. I will have to see how that goes.

Maybe I could meet you all for walking though . . . when and where? Mall sounds good if there is rain.

That's a little early for me cuz I'm still picking up kids from after school sports and running them around. How about 5:30 at the mall.

Sue - maybe you can bring Taylor here at 5pm and David can take them to soccer. If it's raining I think Anna will stay home and do homework instead.

Do we really have to walk or can we just visit and catch up?

Phyl - I had my surgery in Olympia, WA by Dr. Neal. He and his staff are awesome. I am anxious to get past the post op pain...and to start feeling human again!

Coastgirl - glad you could join our little group! The post op pain does eventually go away and you will feel great! Take it easy and don't push yourself to hard. I just got back from a 2+ mile walk in the rain. I never would of done that before this surgery. It won't belong before you will be feeling like the rest of us. . . . happy to be banded!

Sue and Wendy, 5:30 is fine with me.....and we don't have to walk if you don't want to. I might come earlier and get that part done myself, though.

My DH is going to do the 5:30 kid shuffle, so I'm free after I do the 4:00 kid drop-off. I can meet at 5:00, we can walk then meet Wendy at 5:30 if that works for you. We can carpool down to St Joes, though it might be better to park the cars in St Joe's valet rather than mall parking?

 

Anybody else heading to St Joe's support group tonight? Want to meet to walk?

 

Coastlgrl...

Maybe I missed it, but when was your banding? Recovery may seem to drag a little, but in no time you'll look back & say "that wasn't so bad"

      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.
