Still no grandbaby yet. DD is going to ask Doc to induce her tomorrow but I doubt he will. I feel like I am getting a cold and that would be horrible if I can't hold the baby!

Thanks Taps

The problem will be me talking too much - giving my tought band love (operative word love) and I am not always very subtle. Things come out of my mouth before my brain really thinks - at least here and I read and retype my posts ;)

Janet, that's wonderful news. How did it come about that you were chosen to do that, I think that would be an honor and something I'd like to do someday after I lose all my weight. Congrats!!

Apple, no I haven't been there - website says 5 diamond hotel and me personally I wouldn't spend that kind of $$$ for a room - I like the Mirage and once x & i stayed in the Gold Nuggett in old town and rooms were cheap and looks like the had just remodeled - but that was like 8 yrs or so ago if not longer - the last time I was in Vegas was a couple of years ago for my Son's wedding at the tropicana - and I really watched the kids - so didn't do anything drove up Friday cam home Sunday - I don't even think i put one quarter in a slot ;)

From all that I have gathered here on this site - it's mostly about the diff rules that each doc has (why) - heck people don't know what to eat for their stages - I think some patients don't have enough education about what the band entails - support - mental work involved - but we will see - they will most likely be sorry they invited me :redface:

Janet, how great. I am sure you will have plenty of info to share with us when you get back.

My DR office has 2 different sites for surgery and each hospital has their own "support" system, even though you can attend any classes, support group for meeting for wither site. But i went to a support group the other ight and even the basic water/protein reuirements were different..so even when the DR are the same the hopsital group had different requirements.!!!!!

      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.
