Welcome Buckeyes!

I live in the Dayton area and had my band done at the Cincy Weight Loss Center. It's going great and I love my band so far. Check out the Ohio forum listed under local usa and the bottom of the main forum list for more Ohio contacts.

I am from Columbus,Ohio too!! I just scheduled my surgery and will have Ramos as my surgeon. My surgery date is March 26th. I go in on March 5th for pre-admission testing. I am not sure what all is involved in that but I am excited. I am trying not to get overly excited and have not talked to anyone on my team at work about it yet. I am sure I will need to eventually. I am so thankful that we have this chat site.

Does anyone have any good ideas of what to eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the pre-op diet? Right now I am eating ff,sf yogurt for breakfast a low-fat cheese for a morning snack, either a sm salad or sm bowl of tuna for lunch and then afternoon nack is Special K bar and then a light dinner. I think dinner is going to be the worst part of my day to get thru especially eating with my husband but I need to suck it up and get over it. Does anyone have any good dinner ideas for me? I know I am rambling on and on but I really have no one to talk to about all of this stuff

Hi Chris,

We are neighbors. Not too many of us around here. Seems there are mostly C-bus people, but I love them. They are wonderful and welcoming.

PM me if you want to chat!

      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.
