Welcome neighbor!

Are you having your surgery in Tennessee?

I won't hold it against you that you're a Packer's fan. At least you scheduled your surgery AFTER the Packers come to town :)

Go Titans!

Hi Tricia!

Yes, with Dr. Morton.

As far as the Packers go....DH is from Wisconsin. I'm a Titans girl all the way!! Makes for an interesting time in the house during football season. At least UW & UT never play each other! Go Big Orange!

What part of TN are you from? Just outside Nashville for me.

Jen,

I'm in Antioch right down the road from you! :)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask/email me.

Shellyj,

I emailed you regarding fill doctors in Tennessee. I'll be going back to Mexico in a few weeks for my first fill, but would prefer to find someone locally after that.

If you're a Titan's fan, you're alright in my book! :eek:

Hey you guys in TN: I am planning a trip to Nashville this month. I will be in town from the 26th through the 30th for a family event. I would love to meet some of you if you can get together. I used to live in Nashville for 8 years. My daughter lives in Clarksville and my Mother lives in Kentucky so I come to visit often.

Let me know if it is possible to meet for lunch or something.

Penni,

I would be up for lunch one day. I'm planning on flying back to Mexico for my first fill at the end of the month, but the date hasn't been set yet, so just let me know as your plans are more settled.

shellyj,

It's a small world. I used to work over by the airport across from Sams but our office has since moved downtown. I live off Anderson Rd. just off Murfreesboro road. :)

OK my plans are as such. I arrive in town on the 27th and will be in Nashville through the 31st. I leave that morning for Jamaica with a girlfriend. I have a committment on the 29th but for the most part the rest of the time is free. Just let me know.

I will be staying at the Prime Hotels and Resorts over by the Airport off Donelson Pike. It used to be the Wyndham Hotel but the name changed.

      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.
