I just met with Dr. Landerholm last week. I will be having my surgery after the 1st of the year, due to needing to change insurance plans. He was wonderful, did not talk to me like I am a sick child. :) I am very interested in making some sleeve buddies, pre and post op. I live in the Mill Creek/Snohomish area.

Yeah! I love Dr. Landerholm!!! Woohoo. I'm in Lake Stevens. 3 weeks post op as of today. I'm down 15 pounds and have hit my "3 week stall," but I know it will pass. You are going to love everyone there. Jillian is a sweetheart, and Bridget is really nice too. Dr. L really cares...he never talked down to me and treated me like he would treat his family members. They have such respect for their patients. I went to a few different clinics and doctors and never felt the same respect as I do at PSSC. Good luck and keep me posted. Maybe we can all go out for tea or something.

I drink iced tea and hot tea like it's going out of style now lol...before it was coffee

Mis, I was gonna book something at the Bellevue library because the Bothell library meeting room is closed due to construction! The Lyon's Den is impossible to get a room in the evening too! Let me know how things progress, I live very nearby Bothell. I am nearly 3 years out and maintaining below goal. Happy to support you in any way organizing something here at the north end, but I am generally out horse back riding, cowboy chasing (haha, thats a joke) and dancing on the weekends so week nights work better for me!

@@CowgirlJane, Thanks! I was going to hit you you for sure about this. We are looking into the cafe but on a non football Sunday mid afternoon. We can come to consensus on time eventually.

Mid afternoon on a Sunday would be good for me too! I cannot do week nights due to my spouse working second shift at the Lazy B.

      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.
