Hey all, I just wanted to join the group. I have to say although I haven't posted here that I have enjoyed (for the most part) reading about your lives and the support you provide to each other. This site has been my support since getting the band and don't quite know where i would be with out it. So I hope your day has been wonderful, mine was DH and my doggie Truffles took a hike in the mountians. It was beautiful, the fall colors and the brisk air. I need to get out and connect with something and that did the trick. Take care- Suzanne

Hi bristlecone. This thread is so long and cumbersome that most of us are now posting on the PJTP: Again in the rants and raves section. Of course you can post here as much as you want, but this thread is essentially dead. Please join us on the new one!

Thank you all so much for the cards and your prayers! I love them. I get very tired easly. Other wize I feel pretty good. I haqve to have a bone marrow biopsy on Tues. Then get my port and start chemo in Nov. They say I will be havig 2 rounds of chemo. I think that is the right wording. Anyway I will be having it until March. Then 1 month of no treatments then 5 weeks of radiation. They are hoping that will take care of the cancer. The tumor has gotten bigger since the surgery. The Dr. confirmed that this past Wed. when I went in.

I pray you are all doing well. Love ya'll and Miss ya'll:wub:

      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.
