Sharon--How'd your appt. go? Get a fill?

Last night we had our first ever support group for Dr. Pitt patients here. It was really nice since he has several patients in the Kirksville area and this way we don't have to drive to Columbia for the meetings. We had a great meeting. Sylvia was there to get us going and Dr. Pitt is scheduled to be here next month.

Sylvia was telling us that Dr. Peters is now part of the bariatric surgery team with Boone Hospital. He is already part of Columbia Surgical. Sounds like interest in wls especially lapband is ever increasing and they are expanding. It is so nice to think that more people who could really benefit from wls are hearing about it and checking it out!

yes i got another 1cc fill..... but i really still do not feel any different... i only lost 2 pounds since my 2 sk appt.

so if you are having meetings there i doubt i will happen to run into you in columbia anymore. but maybe...

how are you doing on your meat and egg diet?

Hmm...it may take another fill to get you proper restriction. And sometimes people say they don't notice a big change for several days after a fill. I don't know why.

I think I may still come to meetings in Columbia some. Probably over the summer. We will probably see each other there.

The m/e diet is going fine. I did it for a few days this week but I am not going to do it again until probably Tuesday. I need time off it. It works good but gets old. I had thought I would stay on it until I got my 100 lbs. but I am at 99 lost so I decided to take a break.

      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.
