Well I guess it went well, he didn't say anything that I din't already know. He said it will probably be the end of January for my surgery. Only because I need to get the approval from insurance:rolleyes: Please keep your fingers crossed for me. See ya all @ the next support group.:)

Hi All, I was banded in Mexico and doing pretty well. I sure am glad to find there is a group out there for support. I can't seem to get my schedule to fit with the support group but I would love to get together some time. I walk the Valley Mall on a regular basis. It would be nice to have someone else to share with.

Kaelin's G-ma,

It's great to hear from another bandster. I also live in the valley. Our next meeting is on Tuesday January 8th. If you would like to carpool with us you are welcome to join us.

How are you doing since your banding? And where do you go for your fills? Just curious.

Hey Lisa,

Good luck with your fill on the 3rd, I am having mine on the 4th. Drop me a line and let me know how you did, and how much he gave you. I hope it gives me restriction cause I am able to eat entirely too much.

Happy New year,

Ari

I can't believe you two are getting fills. Let us know how it goes. My postop appt went well. I was down 15. WOW. Would love to see that continue to go that fast. But doubt it will. I will be thinking of you for your fills. Don't forget you can always come see me at my office in the school across the street. I would love a visitor.

      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.
