Hi Shane,

Would your cardio happen to be Dr. Lasala? I'm asking because he is the "huggy" type and I immediately thought of him.

Hi Dana,

My upper GI went well, but I do have a small hernia. I had my first visit on July 29 and go back for third visit next Thursday. Blue Cross does not require weight loss. I am having a hard time, I only lost a half pound in thirty days and still do not think I have lost. I live in Abita Springs. I would very much like to meet up with you. How about next week, any day but Thursday.

Attention all north shore sleevers,

I would like to start and support group that gets together and not only meets , but has some planned activities, who's interested ? Message me with your info or if your profile has email address just respond and I will send group email out, the support group I go to only meets once a month and of I'm working nights I miss it for that month. This forum has been great help for me and all you new and soon to be will really benefit from those that have walked in your shoes!

      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.
