Hi Meredith, I am sure we will catch up at some stage. One of my brothers lives in Wagga Wagga NSW, so I could even hitch a ride with him over to Canberra, which is not too far from there, to meet you when I am next visiting him. Or when you are next in Melbourne we could arrange something, If I know in advance I will make sure not to have anything else on.

Goanna, great stuff with the weight loss mate.

I am finding that I can only have the tiniest bit of any kind of Fluid now. If I have more than that my stomach hurts. Anybody else find this? I have to have something to drink, and then wait more than an hour until I can eat brekky etc. Wow, this sure takes getting used to.

Meredith - find out which suburb you are staying in and it might be easier to catch up for a coffee at a local cafe rather than the city.

Susannah - I'm so sry to hear about ur port. Hopefully it won't fully flip and u won't have to much more complication with it. With regards to ur ticker - I think u should be able to click on it in anyone of ur messages and it will redirect u to website. Then u make the changes. I think u have to put a password in thou.

Bronnie - Good luck with ur operation, hope all goes well for u.

As for me, I spoke to my OBGYN who recommended a new Dr to me who happens to be at the same hospital. So my first appointment will be on Tuesday and I'll find out what can/cannot be done then. I was also told that if the complications persist with the lapband, then i'll probably have to be induced early. I'm getting really scared now:cry

      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.
