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!
