Hi Klandi,

Looks like you got this thread going again. My scale says I've lost 24lbs. to date. I'm like sunnyside, ready and anxious for my first fill. I've got this far on will power and excersise, I'm ready for a little help from my band! :cursing: By the way, where's Nunya? Never heard of it.

lotzasunshin - I see you had your surgery by Dr. K, how did that go? He sure is alot cheaper, but what about follow up care and where do you have to go for fills? I paid a lot more than that, but all follow up and fills are included. I'm interested because my husband wants it done also.

He is a lot cheaper, but a GREAT doctor! I actually go back to him for fills, It is cheaper than getting them here, everyone wants hundreds of dollars for a few drops of saline. So I pay $150 for a plane ticket, and then $15 for fills at Dr.K's office. LOVE IT!!! Don't know if a plane ticket would be as cheap for you guys in Georgia. But definitely call around you and ask how much fills would be. Make sure to get it in writing though, because I had a bad experience with the office telling me one thing and getting a big unexpected bill. So, it might be more cost effective to go to Denver, unless the fills out there would be cheaper. Good luck to your DH, and Congratz on your great weight loss! So close to goal! I can't wait until I am there!

Glad to see this thread moving again. :sad_smile:

I just moved to a new ward, I felt bad because we've left early two sunday's in a row... the first time I was sick, the second time my husband was sick. This week the RS pres and bishop both came by. I hope they don't think we're inactive. LOL :tongue: I wanna be like, I SWEAR we come!

Isn't that annoying?! I lived in Kansas City, MO several years ago, and I'm pretty sure that at a youth conference we did a service project at the Liberty Stake Center.

Our stake center is about 2.25 hours away. It's quite a trip to get there. I really feel for those in our branch who have Stake Callings and have to travel there frequently.

I'm wondering if Nunya is the beginning of Nunyabusiness or something similar. :wink_smile: I've also never heard of Nunya, Utah.

One of the places we're looking at relocating to is the Kansas City area. We'll have to see if that pans out. I might need doctor recommendations.

Well I'm still here. Life is kind of frustrating right now. My Dad passed away 2 months ago, and I am trying to figure out how to deal with it. Plus my DH has been having lot of health troubles lately. And my weight loss has slowed a TON because of all the stress. I don't think I am getting enough calories, cuz I just can't get things to go down.

Sorry to dump all that, but you asked! :thumbup:

I'm doing well. Struggling to get any more weight off, but I'm down more than 100, so I'm not complaining. I may go for a fill in August. Life is good. I'm running a 5K on the 4th of July. It feels so great to be able to do that.

      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.
