Wendy,

I'm actually in Fort Defiance, on the far eastern side of the state. I have been lazy about updating my blog, mostly because I had a set back in my weightloss. But, it's normal from what the dietician told me. I'm going to PHX on the 31st for my 1st fill and I can't wait because I'm in band hell right now and not feeling full and starving again an hour after I eat. I should have had my fill a week before that, but the Dr who's doing the fills the previous week is no longer covered under my insurance.

Oh well, have you been banded yet? Where are you getting yours done?

How old is your dog? It looks like a Sheltie, but I wanted to make sure. Ours is 16 months old, and we've had him since he was about 9 weeks. His name is Bart (after Bart Simpson) and he does live up to his name. :)

If you want, you can email me at forgve70x7@gmail.com. I'm a lot better responding to emails than the boards. I forget to check sometimes. :)

Hope you are having a good week,

~Nichole

Awww Bart's so cute! Bonzai's just recently turned 4 years old. We named him so because a) being a Sheltie, we knew we'd have to groom him a lot, much like clipping a Bonsai tree, and ;) he always had soooo much energy, it just fit him :P

I'm not banded yet. I have no idea when I will be, because my work is changing insurance mid-process. I'm not telling them and it wouldn't matter if I did so I'm kinda in limbo right now. *sigh* Keep your fingers crossed for me... I want to be a healthier mommy to Bonzai!!

Thanks, he's definately our baby and I spoil him rotten!! :)

I hear you on that one. The insurance thing is difficult even when you aren't changing companies. When does your new one kick in and who is it with?

How is everyone else doing?

      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.
