Apparently, I missed my first nutrition class. I was told that they are held on the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month. To me, that means the 2nd FULL week. But no. Apparently, the two days that ended the last week in May and began June count as the first week. So, my class was this week instead of next week. :)

I called the nutritionist to confirm that the meeting was next week, on the 13th, but found out that the class was this past Wednesday. Luckily, since my surgery is going to be on July 3rd, the nutritionist is going to do a private class with just me, right before the second class that I have to go to.

You know, instead of saying that the meetings will be on the second and fourth weeks, they should give DATES. Because, damn it, two days does not make a week!

I don't want any delay for you.

I didn't have to go to nutrition class. I didn't have to do stupid diets to prove my moral worth for the lapband. I just went to Mexico where they are interested in dirty old money, not moral superiority. I don't think I'd ever get a lapband in the U.S.

I agree, who in their right mind would think that when they say a week it would mean two days. I guess you and I attended the wrong schools when we were younger. Maybe you let them know, firmly but kind, to use dates for others that attended the same schools. How absurd. Congrats to you on your private class and up coming surgery.

Bitter,

My surgeon was just interested in money too here in Kentucky USA.

I was offered nutrition advice after banding (free for a year).

Just FYI.

      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.
