I think we have several people who are would like to get together and I would be happy to make the arrangements and keep everyone posted if that is alright with everyone.

I also have no problem if bandsters from surrounding states want to join us.

Now, lets nail down our preferences with a survey. Any other comments/suggestions are welcome as well.

I only got 3 responses to the meeting poll. :cursing: Is there anyone else in the Maryland group (or surrounding area) interested in meeting for dinner in Baltimore?

Secondly, my husband has to have some tests done on the 18th in Salisbury so I can not make it over there that day. However, I will be in Baltimore on the 19th & 21st for an upper GI and a fill (hopefully). Is anyone interested in meeting on the 19th or 21st?

Thanks,

Laura

Laura - where are you getting your fill on the21st? I am getting a fill on the 21st with Singh at 4p. I could meet after that obviously for coffee or tea. I am not available before since I will be at work.

Hi - would like to meet other Marylanders. If someone wants to suggest some meeting options maybe this time it will work.

Please help!!!

I realize that its been a long time since anyone has talked about meeting in this group. I was banded in Nov. 2009, and I could really use the support.

I'm a Marylander (Bowie) and would love to meet in Baltimore, Annapolis, or Columbia. Pretty flexible. Having surgery on Jan 14 and very excited/ little nervous.

I no longer live in Maryland. I didn't have a support group while there. What hospital at you going to have your surgery?

Okay, it has been a while since I was here but for all you Maryland Bandsters, who still wants to get together? I am in Annapolis frequently now (especially during the legislative session Jan-Apr).

      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.
