Vicki, just remember to eat a little here and a little there to help with *Damage* control, so even if you stay the same through the holidays it'll be better than a gain.

Hey all

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday Vicki

hope you had a great one!

I have been crazy, got a great job offer and start work Monday, so I have been working hard to take care of everything I need to get done. This is my last week of unemploment so it was odd, but perfect.

Anyway, hope you are all doing well and eat healthy. I soaked my turkey in a brine for 2 days to make it moist so I can eat it, my first thanksgiving in 3 years. Last year when I thought I could eat again, had my first gall bladder attack so I'm so excited about today. So excited about getting a fill on the 10th because I can eat EVERYTHING and anything... not good.

have a great day

I saw Dr. Hoffman last week he said I gained 4 pounds. He said I need to eat five small meals everyday, I have no idea how to do it. Does anyone have ideas?

Tomorrow is my day!!!! I get banded by Dr. Hoffman at 10am. Today was easier than I thought it would be. I have cooked lunch and dinner for my family and I wasn't even hungry or tempted to take even a tiny bite! I almost licked my finger once out of habit but caught myself. And the drinking of the magnesium stuff.....not as bad as I expected, nor the end result. It's working, just not as severe as I thought it would, which is a good thing!!!! Very excited, not the least bit nervous...yet!!!

Hello..

I think I am going to lose it!!! I had my appt with Posner today and have a tentative date scheduled for the december 16th BUT I am 1 &^#$%*@&*~ point higher than my insurance wants me to be for BMI. WTF????? They will not cover me. All of this AFTER losing my 16lbs that was required. Proud that I achieved that but not sure how much further I can go.

Is it me or has this process been the biggest PITA!

Is it really worth it????

      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.
