Yay you Denise...How is it going??? You having a good week???

I am doing good, busy though. What about you, how are you feeling, did you ever call Dr. K? Sorry so many questions. We need to get together sometime. It is hard right now for me to do RR, so maybe we can do lunch, I can always come out your way. Renee' and I have meet up off of I-70 at that mall. Let me know.

Were busy too!! RR is hard for me too. We always have practices on that night. Hopefully, I can make it soon.

No, I didn't call. I always hate to, becuase I never want to be known as the whiney patient. I am feeling better and go in in a week or so, so I will ask about it then.

I would LOVE to do lunch!!! I am so bored now that Hannah is in kindergarten. We could even share!!! Something my family hates doing with me! HA! Let me know when and where!! We could go downtown, that is probably half way for us both. Just tell me when...

Has your scale started moving yet? I will know for me tomorrow!!

Hello, I am very excited that I picked up the phone and made a surgery appt. with Dr. Kirschenbaum for 10/30. Now, I need to convince my hubby that we need to fly out to Denver for this - I got him to agree with surgery, not telling him the potential location!:rolleyes2:

I've been on the phone trying to find a local and inexpensive fill doctor in Chicago - especially I'm being financed for surgery... I don't need to extra expense of trying to pay $500 for fills!

Anyway, I'm excited and nervous all in one.

I am so appreciative of all of the info I have received on this forum.

WELCOME NFAITH!!! This is in my very un-biased opinion the best forum out there. Show your hubby all the before and after pictures. That is what convinced my hubby. I wouldn't think that air fare to Denver would be to expensive.

Congrats on making an excellent choice!!!

You sound like me I never want to bug them so I just wait and ask her or forget altogether. When do you go in, I go next thurs.

How about next week I could do Monday or Wed. Just let me know, or we could do Thurs.

I don't know, that's weird.

138 is completely freakin' amazing. Are you feeling a little better?

      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.
