Hey guys.. I was wondering if you were interested in a walking group since we are all in DE.. Maybe we could meet at Glasgow park.. Any takers. I live in New Castle by Walmart

Hi deevancliff, I would love to walk but I have bad knees right now, my surgery is April 12th and once I have that done and get some weight off and have more energy I would love too walk.

Ok good luck to you...you'll feel better in no time... I'll keep in touch with you

I just got the call to report to the hospital at 5:30am tomorrow! First case of the day, so no extra waiting, thank goodness. I'm a bundle of nerves right now. Hubby had to have emergency surgery last Thursday to reattach his bicep muscle, so we're going to be recovering together... when it rains it pours! ^_^

I'm home now, and have to say I was impressed with Wilmington Hospital's care! Close to getting in my Fluid requirements for the first time, and hope to start full liquids this weekend. For those of you nearing your surgery date, my must have for the hospital was gas-x strips and hard soled slippers.

      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.
