Hey all

Vicki - I'm so sorry, but on a happy note, probably explains alot and you can get that reflux under control. I have been sick and eating bad for over a week because I eat what I can get down.

I've been on broth and cream Soup for 2 days but i just almost killed myself choking down 3/4 cup of soup, so I should just stick to liquids. I'll do it with you. Get lots of s/f pops

CALL ME ANYTIME! OK????

I'm off to do some cleaning

Vicki,

Im so glad I checked in. I m so sorry about your band. I pray that everything goes ok with you. At least you know you are in good hands with Dr Hoffman. I do feel as though they should have investigated this earlier since you are constantly having problems.

Good luck girl and keep us posted

I just got off the phone with Vicki and she's doing really well! She sounds nice and strong...Dr. H. came in the room and told her everything looked good and that she can go home today...she has to make sure she does'nt get a fever. Oh and he said she had moderate scar tissue around her band/stomach which made it a little difficult for him..the surgery took like 3 hours! Anyways she said Heeey to everyone and she'll be online when she can! :thumbup:

      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.
