Yeah... we know the feelin'. Those jerks in Alberta have got it all. :)

Don't worry about it, perhaps all you go through to pay for it yourself will make you appreciate it all the more?

(haha, I just assumed that most of us don't know or have Australians to be angry with, so we take it out on the next closest band-covered area = Alberta! sorry for the confusion :))

Jealousy rears it's ugly head (I kid :biggrin1: )

Yes we have it all in Alberta. $7 billion in surplus and they are talking about firing teachers :angry .

I firmly believe that whose of us that have paid for our bands have the advantage. We are more accountable and have more to lose if we dont make it work. I am accountable to my wife & son as the money that I took from our families finances is what paid for my band.

      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.
