PJTP-

Some of you may be aware that back during the summer I was asked to take part in my clinics ad campaign for the month of Oct. concerning WLS and Lap Band in particular. This campaign was between Park Nicollet Clinic, WCCO-TV, the Mpls Star Tribune and the state of MN called Stay Healthy MN. I ended up being in a couple tv spots that ran all of Oct and a couple ads in the paper. Also, they did a poster of me and family for their clinics all over the state.

Well, I got an email from them saying they want to do a mass mailing to about 160,000 addresses and want new pics of me and family for it. Of course, I said I would. Haven't hidden this surgery from anyone and want to help educate.

Just thought I would share again.

That is awesome! You are going to be FAMOUS!! _bright_star__by_dutchie17.gif

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's kind of nice to have your clinic use you as one of their main success stories.

DD didn't get Wall E somehow for Christmas. Everyone must have figured she would get it from someone else. Instead, she got something called "The Last Unicorn". She must have watched it about 10 times last weekend.

LJM - it was meeeee re: Leverage! Doesn't it rock?!? Glad you love it too! :biggrin:

So I couldn't even get down mashed potatoes at lunch today so I called the surgeon's office. (tho I did get down a container of vanilla yogurt) He said to stay on liquids 24-48 more hours. Pain with mashed potatoes was disconcerting!

Although I don't want to be so restricted that I can't drink, it would be nice to feel some real restriction. I still don't have that. I am going in for a 4th fill on the 19th.

Holy crap, LJM, you scared the bejeebers out of me on Facebook. I thought you meant you had gone into early labor! I was freaking out.

It's definitely different! I've had a pain in my left shoulder today and a pain last night around my shoulder blade. I'm wondering if they are related to the major restriction?!? :tongue2:

      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.
