I just called the Nest and they have a big party coming in for lunch and suggested we get a ressie. Do we want to go somewhere else or do we want to get a head count and go there? ~Mandy

Hey guys, I'm not going to make my MIL isnt back yet ...and there's no one else home to watch the kids....Maybe next month. I was looking forward to reconnecting to. Enjoy

Mandy - so you think you can either forward the list that you have for going to the hospital to me and did you have one for post surgery foods too?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I am from the Quad Cities, and I was wondering if you know of any docs up there that provide fills to other doctors patients? I was banded in Colorado, not Mexico. Thanks!

      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.
