gone 4 ever, just go to the meet and greet thread. but it is all ready to go. just getting the details down for the cooking and stuff like that. prices is listed on the thread. its something like 20 dollars a person.

see it pays to go to the support group meetings. and they will mixed different ones every meeting just let them know what you want to try.

on a side note and a great one for me. i went to buy me some shorts for vacatiopn trip coming up. i was thinking i might be able to wear a size 44 in waist. but come to fine out, i was able to fit in a 42. i was like WOW! :tongue2::thumbup::smile2:

i haven't been able to fit in a 42 since like 9th grade. so you see why im so happy. i got to buy clothes from the mens section and not the big and tale section. i almost started to cry. it was a very big deal for me.

Way to go Jason!!!!

I had a crazy morning with Dr. Miles' office. They called to change my appointment to next week and then they called to change it back. I'm supposed to get my first fill Thursday. I was wondering about what I should expect. Should I eat before I go? I have class that evening and was wondering if I might need to think in terms of liquid diet again? I need to know what to pack in my lunchbox to get through the day. Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,

Deb

no do not eat before you go. and also you will need to go back on liquids for 24 hours at least if not up to a few days after the fill. so enjoy it now because liquids are back as of thursday. sorry. and let us know how it goes. :thumbup:

Hi all!

I just wanted to let you know that I had my surgery today and I am doing pretty good. I am sore only when I have to get up from the sofa and sleepy, but other than that all is well.

Yea Amy! Glad to hear you're doing so well. Take it easy and do exactly what you've told to do and you'll be fine. Are you still taking classes too?

That's good. I don't know how I would have made it if I had had to wait until June or July. My schedule has been crazy. Glad to hear you're doing so well. Got some good news Monday. They might offer my fall class at Gadsden now. Means I won't have to make the drive to T-Town every week this fall. I sure hope it makes!

I had a couple of firsts today. I had my first fill and I had my first upper GI. When Lisa tried to do my fill this morning, she couldn't get the saline to go in so she went and got Dr. Miles. Dr. Miles finally got 3ccs in but they couldn't pull the Fluid back out. They sent me for an upper GI. Everything was fine and when I went back to the doctor's office, Lisa gave me 2ccs more. Go figure. Anyway, met with Ashley and had all my food questions answered and am good to go.

      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.
