Hello. I want to know if anyone live in Aurora Il or close by. If you work out at LA Fitness at Ogden and Route 30 let me know. Maybe we can have either a group or just a partner to work with so we can motivate encourage each other. Let me know thank you.

Hi Alwayssmiling ????

I love in North Aurora. Just banded on 4/6 and had a great first week, but the weekend hit and I am eating regular food. How are you doing this?

There are a LOT of parks and forest preserves that we could go to. The days that it's easiest to meet up with me are Sundays. As far as weather is concerned, it looks like this coming Sunday will be pretty, so a walk around Phillips park would be nice. OR we could meet at Red Oak Park for a nice walk along the trails they have. Either way, I think that a healthy picnic lunch and walk would be fantastic.

Which location works best for you guys?

What time works for you?

I do have email. I'll send it to you privately. Also, after the 17th, I won't have a free day until June 28th. I'll be out of town on Tribal business and then I get home *just* in time for my mother in law to come stay with us for a month. Whee ....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
