HI --Thank you for answering, I was feeling lonely and invisible.

Although I must admit after losing almost 50 pounds I am not as invisible as before! :girl_hug:

We have started a group here in Albuquerque. The latest update is below: Please join us! We are growing every month!

Good Morning Beautiful Bandsters!

It was amazing to meet so many fabulous people at the Banders meeting on

Sunday. You all are looking amazing!

I wanted to through out an objective for our group as an idea to discuss.

*Objective: * *To gather together in support with other lap banders, to

Celebrate our successes, and find solutions to our challenges. These

meeting will be focused on our physical health, mental well-being, and

continued fitness as we transform into our true selves.*

**

Let us all know what you think of that as a group objective. We can refine

it at the next meeting and post it as our affirmation.

I have put together an email contact list I will be sending out seperately

to each of you, so it's not on a public groups forum.

It would be great if each of you could write out your answers to the

question I posed for the meeting. As you know if you speak it you affirm

it, if you write it it becomes a reality. I encourage each of you to at

least write down your affirmation, and if you would like to share with this

group, that would be great for us to be able to support you with.

Next month, Connie has graciously offered her home for our meeting. The

topic of this meeting will be "Book Reviews" Please bring a health focused,

or inspirational book that has inspired your continued weight loss success

and could help others in our group continue on their path to full health and

fitness. You will each get a chance to talk about your book, and what you

have gotten from it that is helping you as you loose weight after being

banded.

Speaking of fitness, several of us committed to trying the *Run/walk for the

Zoo* this year. It is on Sunday, May 3rd with the course down along the

river and around the zoo. They have:

1. 8:30 am a 5 k fitness run/walk

2. 9:30 am a 5 k fitness walk

3. 10:45 am a 1 mile fitness walk

When you register you get a t-shirt and free admission to the zoo afterward

for the day. Admission is $25.00. Here is the link

http://www.bioparksociety.org/runforthezoo/

I encourage you all to think about participating this year, it is a great

way to get a jump start on your 10,000 steps for the day. I would like to

do either #1 or #2, so please let me know if any of you will be joining me.

We can make it our first support group event!

Until next month. Stay focused and get your 10,000 steps a day in! Please

forward this message on to any one interested in joining our group.

Thanks

Cheryl

      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.
