Thanks, Gina! I appreciate your offer!

I hadn't thought about doing the audiobook thing; which is odd, when I drive across the state to visit my folks I always listed to audiobooks! LOL I might have to check out the audible.com site. I just got a Zune for Christmas and that might be a great option. :)

I agree -- hate driving to the "other side" no matter what side that is...

Good point!

Bridgette, who is going to do your surgery? Dr. Terracina did mine over three years ago. Welcome and I wish you the best.

Good Morning Hampton Roads, no posts for over a month, how is everyone doing?

Carla, I think that was my mother you met at your fill, she had on a pretty blue blouse and black slacks and the typical greatgrandma gray hair, LOL.

Gr8t, how are you doing?

Take care all.

HarleyNana,

That is so funny...what are the odds! She does look like the typical grandma but she sure is spry and she was telling Dr. T about her new car.

What a small world!

HarleyNana, I'm so anxious about getting banded. I start the pre op diet this Wednesday. Also, I see you live in Yorktown. So do I! In fact I went to the beach music concert on the river last night. I live in Foxwood. We're also close in age. (I'm 54) :(

HarleyNana, have you been satisfied with your results? How long did you have to wait before your first fill?:(

      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.
