You guys have fun at the meeting without me. I have my weekend grad school class in Tuscaloosa that weekend, so I cannot be there. Hopefully I will hear something in the next week about my approval.

Anybody hear from venzwife lately? I was just wondering how she was feeling....since she is a week out of surgery.

I dont talk! :thumbdown:

thats one thing that we got to get over don't we!

i didn't either but now its not that bad. with weight loss its just not lossing weight, we also need to start doing new things in life. we have to get over those fears that we once have. we have to stop hiding behind other people and let the world now that we are here to be seen as well!

so to everone that comes to the meetings before its over you WILL get up and tell everyone there your story.

have a nice day

Oh Kanina, You can get up and talk. Dont be scared. We are all in this together. I know that I would be interested in hearing what you have to say.

Jason I might need directions. I can get to St. Vincents but I havent been there since they added all the buildings so just let me know which one. I am excited about coming and meeting people that are going through the same thing I am. I hope i dont ask to many questions. I will be there at 9:45 and hopefully Kanina will be too.

I take classes in Tuscaloosa as well. Living in Blount County, it's quite a drive. What kind of classes are you taking?

      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.
