<p><p>OK, people, I going to start taking that ginkoba (sp) stuff that helps with memory loss, because I have been very forgetfull lately, a lot at work too. Really, it's true, just a lot on my mind I think. That or age is catching up to me. I know the gray hairs have tripled in the last year.

Dini, I haven't been sleeping well due to the sinus infection I have. I've used nasal spray to the point where it was making it worse. So I had to stop, thus, having to air passage through the nose for more than a dayI normally get 7 1/2 hours on average a night, but the past few nights I only got 2 to 3, interupted hours of sleep. And the sleep apnea doesn't help

Sunshine, I can actually breath today. I have not got the perscription filled for the z-pak yet. He said to give it a day or two and see if it clears up on it's own. I may get it filled anyway and take it just to make sure it won't come back because I started all of this 2 1/2 weeks ago, it got better for a few days, and then came back, so i think I'm in that reoccuring stage now. Don't want it to rear it heads again next week. It's getting too close to surgery. He told me had I been scheduled for surgery on Monday he would of canceled me

I guess Laurend is going to blame me for forgetting Chimboree on our list. Go ahead, everyone else has been!</p>

Hello all,

My Dr.s not requring me to do a fast until 7/22 11 days before mu surgery, they called today to give me my surgery time 10:30 am and I asked how many he was doing that day, 6 was the answer so mabey I'm

4th? (I feel so used already!)

Lynette617, my 2 cents on the Magic Bullet......YES!! this is my second one, my Daughter wore out my 1St one that was 5 years ago! this ones just for me! all I can say is you will apreciate the smaller portions you can make in the cups over any blender!

With the way it's calculating, Indiogirl55, it calculated your BMI as 42.05. If I lower your height to 5'3", your BMI comes out at 43.4

use 5.3 i guess - it look like thats in line with my bmi on my ticker

Thanks Laurend.....

But the wait is almost over! Now I need to start finding good Protein sources and making reservations at a motel for the nights my nutrition classes are on (7 1/2 hour drive one way to the surgeon's office).

OMG Laurend - That's like me driving from Indio to Modesto where my sister livers... Prop's to you... I don't know that I would drive that far...

What are you going to do about your fills???

I start my pre-op diet on 7/7 (go to the dr's on the 6th)

I'll post an update every Saturday, starting on June 30th, okay? I'll need everyone to PM me (so that I don't accidentally miss it in the thread) with their updated weights by Friday each week, if they want them posted, so that I'll have time to update the spreadsheet.

My surgeon said I could come to her or she could arrange for a closer surgeon to take me as a patient for the fills. I think I'll try to stay with her, since it gives me an excuse to go to Memphis, which I LOVE.

      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.
