Hi Sherri

I am in NW Pa between Erie and Pittsburgh. Just sitting here waiting on the delayed game to come on. I have actually been researching for about a year. A nurse who is my partner on pool league had it and has been very successful, and my step sister also. Actually, when I checked it out, I finally talked to both of them and the dr I wanted to use was theirs. Got some info, but don't want to push or be too personal. 7 yrs for sister. She waited an extra 4 yrs to have the skin taken care of. It's great for her. No more diabetes,etc. so happy for her. Of course she is about 15 yrs younger than me. Glad to meet ya!

Hey Margie,

I am the one who always says you can't win games with field goals. So o.k. I am not always right. (Don't let hubby know that). Very happy this morning. We got the win & I got my referral. What could be any better? Wow wasn't that a game and a half with Packers. On the edge of your seat kind. Never ever count Aaron out. Keep on keeping on. Yay us!!!

      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.
