What a great idea!

My name is Anna and I am 24 years old. I live with my 3 cats in Bothell, WA. I am an Operations Manager at Microsoft - I love what I do. I am being banded on September 4 by Dr. Clinch at Evergreen Hospital. I have been wanting this for over 4 years and thanks to insurance I can finally have it done. With a positive attitude, family and friend support, and a sense of humor, I am hoping to do very well. Congratulations and Good Luck to all.

hye u gotta have something that inspires and motivates you. if its a banner thats cool. but even if that wasnt the intent the time u spent on ur banner shows the pride in ur decision which is definitely admirable. i only wish i had a similar talent.:)

      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.
