Dee...we are neighbors!! Well, not really, but in the grand scheme of things, we are relatively close! I have a good friend who taught in Hisperia last year, and this year she is joining our school!

Hey new kids, and everyone else. Hope you are all doing well. I got back from Key West yesterday, was a lot of fun, but I am STILL over restricted. I talked to my doctor while on vacation and he said to call him on Monday if it's still too tight. I haven't PBed or thrown up at all (thankfully) but I have a lot of discomfort and I can feel the band is too tight. I'm back on liquids until I get this sorted out...and let me tell you, when you are in the Keys and limited to liquids, there are very few options...I hope tequila counts as a liquid because that's about the only thing I consumed there...it's so weird, though because I had my last fill over a month ago, but I only started feeling restriction last Friday. Thankfully the doctor didn't think I had a slip...let's hope he's right.

take care, everyone

definately relating to the PBing , etc. etc.! :omg: OMG anyone experienced the lump in the throat thing? it's like someone is choking me, very painful and a bit scary. it generally happens on the first bite and on well chewed and familiar foods that didn't do it before, it's very freaky. :nervous

HEY, neighbor yes we are pretty close, I worked one summer in P.S. that was more then enough for me. I do come in to your area when I am out training people who say they have never been. It gives me a good 5 hour day, only because I take the long way around. I may come down in November for the festival, have not been to that one yet.

Take care, have a good week.

Where are you from? I hate to hear of anyone seeing a doctor they can't stand! My doctor is awesome! I wish I could say that for all of them. Good luck with everything.

      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.
