It must only be doctor Ponce that does that then. They would only schedule my first three with doctor ponce. I didn't see Brooke alone until my fourth fill.

Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded.

By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-)

I would like to attand the support group meetings, but I live in Cleveland and it is so far to drive. Plus I work late, so that's another reason.

I haven't been to any of the support meetings. By the time they start, I am just leaving work downtown. There is no way I could make it to them before they were over.

I am thinking about doing the pouch test next week to see if that will help my fill situation.

It's basically a modified post op diet that is done over five days. It seems to shrink the pouch and also help break the carb cycle. I've done it once. You can google it for the full instructions.

I agree. It would be nice to have more banded people working there.

I think she's ok, I just do think that they should have more banded people there if for no other reason than to reassure patients about what they are going through. It helps when the person you are talking to knows from experience what you are talking about as opposed to just reading/hearing about it.

      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.
