Here is a suggestion for the first chat room topic, time, date, etc.

Date: Tomorrow night Thursday the 17th

Time: 9pm EST, 8pm CST, 7pm MST, 6pm PST

Topic: My Journey: Goals, what I have learned along the way.

Everyone come prepared to discuss your goal.

Have you reached it and would you be willing to share your experiences with us still on the journey?

Are you close to your goal?

Is the goal realistic?

What obstacles are in your way?

How can we break them down?

Any other thoughts? Ideas? etc are welcomed.

That's a great idea! Maybe also people can write about the begginning of their band experience, good and bad, so that others who are new (like me) can see how others overcame the difficulties. And at what point did people notice not just the weight change but their body change. Goals are great for everything. This is great because it will give us all a good idea what people are looking forward to. and not just a weight goal, but what they hope to see diiferent in their lives because of the weight loss, ie. better job, better sex ;), tons of energy, better sleep, more vacations, etc.

Norma: That sounds like a plan. I will be recuperating from eye surgery next week so someone else will have to plan it. I nominate you Norma. LOL!!!

Penni,

What do you think? Should we do this another time? Maybe we can set it for a week in advance so that others can make arrangements.

      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.
