I was seriously bumming, because both LBT and my other online hangout were down at the same time. I had to *gasp* actually WORK at work! It was horrible... :faint: :) :faint:

Because I am not "computer literate", I figured I was doing something wrong!! I even began reconfiguring my settings!! Thank goodness I was able to re-set everything back... but REALLY--I was going crazy without this group! Only a few days away from my Band Date, and I was afraid to lose you guys!! Thank you for coming back!!!:clap2:

I ventured over to two other discussion boards, but they were just too big and overwhelming. Very glad this one is back.

Has anyone noticed anything different now that we are up and running? I always got emails telling me if there was a new post on a thread I was on. Now I get nothing. I was getting the feeling that all threads stop after I post on them!! I have checked my settings and everything appears to be OK. Is that happening to anyone else?? Help!

Karen, same thing here. I guess we might need to reset our settings.

I tried that, everything is as it should be, but still no notification emails. :cry This is upsetting!! But at least we have our site back!

Are you getting really excited?? You have a lot to do as well as prepare for! You have a trip, a hospital stay, and then a week at your Mom's. Can you pack that much clothing??

Only a few more days until we are banded!! Are your bags packed?

I have been so busy, I never even knew it was down. But, the big meeting I have spent a month preparing for is finally over and my schedule is back to normal, thank goodness. You can probably tell because I have been doing a lot of posting today.

Took up knitting/crocheting for charity. Kept/keeps me busy and very rewarding. Check out the website below, if interested.

I am really new to the site, and even I was already worried.

It is so easy to get addicted to this place.

You're right. It is nice, small, and friendly. Much easier to wade through than the other sites I've seen. I love reading everything. I feel like I am going to be super prepared when my surgery date comes around. You are all very informative.

Glad you're all back! I can breathe a sigh of relief now.

Hey, I might take you up on that. I've been thinking about doing some kind of needlework in the evenings while watching TV, just to keep me from snacking. I don't have much faith, though, in my ability to produce anything wearable! I guess I could at least make the little afghan squares.

Thanks for the idea!

      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.
