Embarassingly enough, I could not understand the receptionist that well, as she has a rather thick accent, and being as I do not deal with that on a day to day basis all I could pick out was she was transfering me to someones voice mail,,when I got the voice mail (I was at work) my 2 way radio started yammering, so I couldn't hear who it was:faint: ... I'm just sure if I did it from home my 3 & 4 year olds would have been "MUCH QUIETER"!!!!

:D lol...well, i think you'll get a phone call soon. Like I said...they are usually good at getting back to you in the time span they say...so, are you ready for the snow??:)

VT border...wow...Yeah...I think you'll get alot more then us..I live on the chicopee, springfield, ludlow border..and thanks to that fact we get the short end of the stick with the plowing..We usually have to call the city of Chicopee a few times before we are plowed...the main roads are good though..how bout your way?

Your better off counting on 4 wheeled drive, I live in Leyden, north of Greenfield, town budget is VERY LOW, they try to wait as long as they can before going out...but I will tell you, they are GREAT when they are out,, you couldn't ask for a better group of guy's. If it was not for budget restraints, they would be at 100%,, any time I have needed one of them they were right there....... BTW how have you been feeling??? Almost a month now!!!

Well, I hope your not "stuck" tomorrow!! My jeep will get me anywhere although I don't plan to go out anytime soon...school's already cancelled here and I don't drive in the snow/ice unless it's an emergency...:) !!!

Band wise I'm great!!! It was a rocky start...i was in such pain for the first week..it wasn't so much the surgery but the gas...holy smokes!!!!! for the first three days I regreted my decision..I even thought I was having some type of allergic reaction...I know...over the top, but the pain was HORRIBLE:eek: ...It started in my shoulder and up through my neck and down my arm (left side)... I've gone through 2 c-sections and they weren't as bad...but I'm good now...gas X is my best friend:) I can now say i've made the best decision for me!!! People have already started to notice my weight drop..I'm down 30 pounds!!! I can eat almost anything!!! i feel bad for all the postings I've read about not being able to handle certain foods, I've had no problems...chicken, rice, bread, toast..nothing...THANK GOD!!! and now I walk everyday about 3-5 miles..I LOVE IT!!! I have so much energy it's sickening!!!! at least that's what my coworkers and friend say, but I've always been hyper...lol...

      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.
