Hi everyone,

I am not going to make it today. My car is down. My dh has the van. So, I am stuck. I wonder if this is a sign. I have been trying to come every month. Something always comes up at the last second. Glad everyone is doing good. Does anyone need some clothes?? I have bunches I need to get rid of. pjlmk.

tc,

Bugg

Just read latest entry in Loser Girl Chronicles. That is awesome that you were asked to speak at a seminar!! I too am a talker, but would be very nervous to speak up in front of people. The funny thing is though at the seminar I went to I remember thinking "I hope that is me up there someday 100 lbs healthier telling my story" Wish I could have met everyone at the mall gathering but I had to work. Keep up the good work. You are truly an inspiration!!

Heather,

I CALLED!!!

I've haven't had a fill since January and no Dr. Appts either. When I left there in january, I asked if I needed another appointment, they said call when i needed another fill. Well now it is mid July and I'm eating more in each meal so I need another fill. How soon can I get one? Would you belive Sept 4? 7 1/2 weeks after I called. There was one appointment available at 5 1/2 weeks but I am on vacation out of town that week so I can't do that one. But 7 1/2 weeks! Come on! Even 5 1/2 weeks is too long when you need a fill.

Seebs,

I've waited 4 weeks before and it's never any fun.

I'm of the mindset that I make appointments every few months and if I don't need a fill I'll cancel a few days before. Not that that will work for you now, but make another one for a few months out when you get your fill so you have it in the bank, so to speak. You can always cancel. Maybe some poor soul will be able to grab that appointment slot last minute too. You know what I mean???

      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.
