:biggrin:

We're still here! The most active seems to be the Miles/Schmitt thread, and you don't have to be a patient of theirs to hang around! It seems there were a group of us that were all banded at the same time and a new group is coming up in the next month or so, so it should get livlier:biggrin2:

I am hanging out waiting for my surgery date! I am really excited! I have a nutrition class on Wednesday (8/6) and the doctor's office should submit everything to Tricare either Tuesday or Wednesday. I am so ready to do something for me. With a special needs child and homeschooling both of my children, I rarely do anything for me. Keep posting! I am reading.

Hey... I haven't posted in a month, it seems. I didn't realize it had been that long. The only other place I've been is sparkpeople.com which is where I log my food and exercise. It's just been really,, really busy.

I am in Tuscaloosa and was banded in March. Have had one fill so far. I have lost about 40 pounds.

Have you had your surgery yet?

That is wonderful to hear! That gives me hope that maybe if I can get a September/October surgery date that I will loose some before Christmas! That would be wonderful!

I am still here. I am from Hartselle. I have lost 44 lbs in just over 6 months. I was banded in February 2008. I love my band.

Does anyone know a good place to go for a local support gruop here in Hartselle/Decatur/Madison Area/ I work in Madison. I would like to find a local group that does not meet during the workday or is not private to just the patients of the doctor hosting the group.

      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.
