JC look back in June for the page.

Wearing a skirt...she didn't say it was all sexy, it could be a 2 sizes too big old wrinkly maxi skirt, with a faded ill matched and stained t-shirt.

Oh, wait I'm describing someone I work with!

I'm going to work out. You all can keep your test tickles and breast tickles to yourselves.

I went to my surgeon's support group tonight.

I was the only lapbanded person. I remember now why I had never gone. Pre surgery I was the only lapband person.

I spent an hour being told all about mineral and Vitamin defincencies. Not it. UGH!

I know there are other lapbanded people in Columbus Ohio. I shouldn't have to leave the state to meet other lapbanded people.

Golly, I can barely get my ass to a meeting in Columbus. Oh, if it were on a weekend and I was driving north anyway, you know I'd detour!

I know there will be a time when I Detour north to say howdie just cuz.

There are 4 area places one can get a band in this city. I think I need to contact the other hospitals to see what they are doing.

My surgeon is really not an advocate for the band. He believes it's workable for about 1 in 10 people and I am one of his 1's. Yesterday I met a woman who wanted the band and he talked her into GB. She'll have surgery next week. When she asked me how I liked my band I told her I loved it. She said maybe because I didn't have as much to lose. She is just under 300#. I said, I was 313#! That was fun, to have to so no really I was SMO. But I said I'm compliant and I exercise like I should, or perhaps even more than I should.

She said she needs something to keep her face out of the gallon of ice-cream and has no will power left. I said, rock that GB!

But ugh. I want a comrade close by! Boo hoo. :)

Speaking of close by Jenn is getting her surgery the first week of November.

I really love my support group though. Most of us are bands but we do have a few bypasses. They are all awesome. We laugh and we cry and we do fun things. It really is great, I hope you can find somethig like that in Columbus.

No, I'm an overly tired and pmsing.

I want a cookie and my pillow.

And you are right, I shall not sulk. I'm calling my surgeon's office to say really I can't be your only lapband person, do I need to organize my own group? (and to get some results from a blood draw.)

And I went to the local area on LBT to shout out to the potential other central Ohioans. I am proactive if nothing else.

Guess who just volunteered to help her surgeon's office put together a support program solely for thier Lapband patients? You know, to play the role of the patient on the committee for our specific insights?

Because I don't already have enough to do. But somehow I'll find the time. There is a need...

Okay, homework time.

      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.
