I've lost 100#, but I have 100# more to go. So does that mean I am an asshole, qualified to take the asshole exam, or that I just HAVE an asshole???

You Mississippi girls are doing FABULOUS. lol good job. I'm from Madison County, just north of Jackson. I am tentatively scheduled for Feb. 11 th but that date may have to be changed. I hope not but I just don't know how my insurance is going to play out. I can't wait till I'm post op and on the losing side of this battle. Keep up the good work and hope to see y'all around the boards. Janet

I just set up a new thread for those of us using Dr. Michael King in Oxford Ms! But it is under the surgeon tab! Oh and i am pre-op and on liquids right now! Will be sleeved in Oxford on 12/30! You are welcome to PM me or I can set up a FB PRIVATE GROUP for us! I will tell you that have done extensive research on surgeons, track records, etc! I have polled doctors and lawyers about safety! Dr. King has an impeccable reputation! I have 2 good surgeons in town that I could use but I wanted the most experienced and knowledgeable about this procedure, so I chose Dr. King! His staff is fantastic!

What if there was a Mississippi Girls room?? :)

MS Queen, I tried to set up a Mississippi Room but didn't have good results. If you will start a new one, I'd love to join. We would certainly have a lot in common since we would be facing a lot of the same type of food problems.... you know Mississippi girls use EVERY occasion, good or bad, to either cook something or go out to eat. Part of our "social make-up" I suppose. Glad to have you on board. Janet

No, I am probably the opposite of a Gman, (government man). My name is Gary, I consider myself a man, and my last name starts out Bat..... I know, not very intriguing..:D

      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.
