My brother joined other loved ones in heaven today at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. I'm still in pretty much a state of shock. Just doesn't seem real to me. My sister and I will travel to Pittsburgh Thursday and return on Sunday. Going to be a tough time but will get through it with God's help. Thanks for all the prayers -- he went peacefully and that's a blessing.

I'll cbl Thanks for everything.

Linda

Hello everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA for so long. Been so dang busy with the new schedule. On the good side of things the shoulder is working great now that I'm back. Been having so problems with the band though.

Went in for a fill two weeks ago. Talked to PA about the first bite problems I have been having. Turns out it is allergy problems. We in to se allergy specialist today. Went through allergy testing and crap I'm allergic to almost everything. Which sucks. I get to start allergy SHOTS!!!! Yikes. Hopefully I can get things under control.

I just found out last night that my dads brother has prostate cancer. My moms sister may have thyroid cancer, and a close friend of the famy that has been battleing colan cancer now has tumors in her liver. This sucks

Enough of the bad news, Thank you for all the birthday wishes on Facebook. I am still reading just don't have alot of time to reply.

Hugs to you all

Chris

Chris...great to hear from you. Sorry about the allergy symptoms and diagnosis but at least you have an answer and can hopefully treat it. I think there are quite a few bandsters with first bite syndrome and it can take patience and a bit of time while eating a meal..

Geesh....sounds like yesterday was "Bad News Day". Hope your dad's health is better. Take care and check in to let us know how your allergy treatments are going.

      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.
