Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. I'm SOOOOO eager to see the surgeon in April. It's approaching soon! :thumbup: I think I've been thinking about being banded more than I've been thinking about food. Now that's a good thing! :w00t:

Good Morning Y'all!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I started feeling better, so it was catch up for me with all the housework etc. I'm also trying to get things done for the our trip. I am so ready for it to get here.

We are expecting storms today. It was hot and humid yesterday, 82 but really muggy. I hope the storms misses us today though.

Well, just sticking my head in to say hello, I'm going to jump in the shower and get dressed for work.

Have a great day!

Kat, it's been a few days now get your a$$ back in here, or I'll get the monkeys from Mandy and send them out for you!

Mandy, good to see you back.

Sherry, we have more than one monkey!

Diane, call me when you get a chance to gab, sorry I forgot to call you on the way home the other day, gosh that was Thursday, I think, LOL. Anyway, call me.

Well girlies, I've purchased airline tickets for Ft Lauderdale next week, but we may switch to this week since it's supposed to rain everyday, but Thursday this week. I so need some Vitamin D..by way of sunshine!

I'm realllllly gonna finish getting my tax stuff together today, I'm so tired of all this chit sitting all over my desk. It seems every year it takes longer and longer.

Betty, I'm going to a bike rally in Nags Head, NC, the end of April, my husband is going to give me a refresher course on how to ride, OMG, it's been two years since I've driven my Harley. I'll be the oldest woman rider there, LOL.

Good Morning Y'all!

We had some wild weather yesterday, but it passed pretty quickly. We might be in for more today, but I hope not. I am not a fan of storms.

Kat - How are you feeling? I have been worried about you!

We have a big meeting this morning at work, so I am getting geared up for that. I am trying to figure out what I want to wear too. I think I will wear a skirt, unless I don't like it once I put it on, then I will go back to pants! lol

I have been shopping trying to get my stuff all in for the trip. I finally got my dresses, but now I have to find some shoes to match and some clutches to go with them. I think I will be all ready then, at least I hope so. I don't know that we are ever all ready, always something at the last minute.

Well, going to go find my outfit. Catch you all later!

      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.
