So I see there are several ladies in here in my neck of the woods and I just saw a thread about clothing exchange! Anyone interested in maybe passing clothes around? I have several I haven't yet taken to the GoodWill or passed to a friend. Any thoughts?

Hey y'all! San Angelo here. I was sleeved 10/16 in Florida. I moved here in July and had a lap band which was removed in June and my Dr couldn't do it as a revision because the band ulcerated so I went back. Now I'm having a heck if a time finding a Dr in Texas to establish care with. :(. I love it here but I'm lonely and bored. I'm going to join a gym tomorrow to keep my head right. I'm having a hard time dealing with the addiction BUT I'm happy that I'm losing weight. Good luck to y'all!!

      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.
