Hello .. my name is Ellie and I live in Imperial Beach, Ca . I am not banded yet but will be having my surgery sometime in March 08 by Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana. I'm starting this thread for any one who lives in San Diego and has a hard time getting motivated to work out or needs a buddy. I personaly get very lazy ( lack of better discription) when it comes to excersize and I need a little push. Dr Huacuz told me its very important to have a regular excersice schedual to help in the weight loss as well as makeing my skin go back in place. I was thinking this could be a great place to meet new buddies and maby help each other .

Let me know if you have any thoughts

hi ellie- i don't live in s.d. but i will be passing thru for my surg. i'll be getting it done in t.j. too; before i had crap insurance that didn't cover l.b.& now i got blue cross but don't want to jump through firey hoops to get approved:rolleyes:.

i live north of you in norwalk, too bad!!! i'm looking for a gym buddy too, i get lazy real quick. i keep on telling myself, oh tomorrow i'll go...tomorrow...and it never comes. i still have a ways away till banding, but i do know that exersise IS important before and most certainly after surgery and for the rest of our lives. i have started changing how im eating and that's surpisingly going great!

well, good luck there girlie, and if you need to talk

      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.
