Hey, trying to catch up on a least some of the last few hundred pages. Watching it rain AGAIN. Only been able to get one day of walking in this week. I guess it is better than nothing. I'm on my third new set of fat clothes this month. It will be a relief when I get a handle on this thing. I hope everyone is well. Have to get back to work.

Well I've not felt like doing much riding. I have gone to the gym some. Guess I am going to have to put the bike up for a few weeks. I am going to be having gall bladder surgery next week on Friday. Will be nice to have it over with, but not looking forward to another surgery so soon, was banded on June 5th. But I do look forward to this ache in my side being gone!

Awe, Long, bless your heart!!! I am sorry the second surgery in such a short time, but it will be nice to not have the pain. Does the doc think that the gall bladder is because of the weight loss???

Yep he does. He thinks it might have been in not so good shape before, but just not enough to cause symptoms and then the loss has aggravated it. With my wanting to continue losing especially he recommended removal as it would aggravate it more. And the ultrasound showed stones and not to risk a stone getting stuck in a bile duct or something.

I was in the lapband chat room here recently and someone in there mentioned they heard 40% of banders have gall bladder issues. Not sure if there is any truth to that or not, I've not seen that statistic in an 'official publication' or anything. I asked my dr. how much a gall bladder weighed and he just laughed at me. :biggrin:

I head out on the bus Mega Bus that is, not Grey Hound, in 30 minutes.

I'm really psyched. My trainer called yesterday and left me the best message about how I've got what it takes to do this...mind over matter and all that encouraging stuff.

Stacy and I are going to have a blast to be sure. Can't wait to share with you what we discover about ourselves. :biggrin:

      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.
