Hi AnnyBear,

The picnic is going to be Sept 11th in Val's (Veronica) yard. You can bring anything you like...ex: hot dogs, baked chips, fruit, ice-cream :)

The only time I noticed my port was when I would lean against something and press into it too much. I would forget all about it until I looked down and see the scars then I would be like... What da hell did I do! lol.. But It was all good after some of the wieght started coming off.

Yeah, I'm probably one who cannot eat any carbs, because the first yr and a half, i ate no carbs at all and thats when i lost the most wt. but then why did i have surg. wouldnt i have lost it anyway on an Atkins like diet? i wish i could eat what i want just less of it like its suppose to be. oh well, how r u doing val, with the sleeve, can u eat without getting stuck like the band, do u just feel full like a normal stomach would, how is the wt loss since ur surg.

That place is a train wreck~~~:thumbup:

I dont think i need a fill, even though im up and down the same 7 lbs. up at this point, i cant eat anything in the am and then i eat alot of yogurt, but calorie for calorie i feel i am not overdoing the cal count, but def the carb count. even when i did Atkins i only lost 7 lbs, and as soon as i went back to south beach i gained it back...grrrrrrrr... i feel like im doing the same routine i was doing before the surgery :thumbup:

Hey vet, we lost the same amt of wt....lol

      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.
