I am originaly from Texas, but recently lived in OKC for about 4 yrs, absolutely love it there. However, currently live in ANCHORAGE ALASKA. Hope to be moving back to Oklahoma in the Spring 2007. Will either be OKC or around Lawton havent decided. I am 11 months out. Would love to get involved in support group when I get back. Don't have one here in Anchorage.

I am an Okie living in Dallas now. Grew up and graduated in Broken Arrow. Wish I could get back up there, but the job market is just too good here in Dallas. I do miss the slower pace for sure.

Good to see all my neighbors are doing well. Those of you who are post-op look like you are doing great and even Sunshine who is pre-op is dropping. I didnt lose any weight on my pre-op diet. :grouphug: Not even the week I was on liquids! I am about an hour from Tulsa and 2 hours from OKC, but would be willing to drive for get-together sometime. It feels good to have people around who know what you are going through.

What a wonderful idea....maybe this summer we can plan a "get together" for all of Oklahoma bandsters.

I don't know. Any time is great for me. I don't work weekends anymore,so I am up for a drive on a weekend. Anybody know a good central location that's cool to meet?

Maybe we should meet up in Alaska, I have never been there!! OKay, well maybe not. Lets see we have OKC, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Pauls Valley, Dallas, Muskogee.

There is also another OK thread, I vote we all start using that one, since I started this one I could just kill it. Sunshine started the other one. I think I will pop on over there to see how she is doing.

      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.
