Wow, they changed the layout of the site...

Mom weighs in today and if she has lost 10 pounds, she will be getting her band tomorrow.

Well, I just talked to my mom and she weighed in this morning. She is down 12 1/2 pounds in the 2 week preop diet. Surgery is tomorrow at 9am! For those of you who pray, please keep her in your prayers.

Wow, this is different. I miss having the menu down the right side of the page.

Good luck to your mom tomorrow, Elizabeth! It's good that you're there to support her through this. It has made it alot easier with my husband being there.

Question for everyone...I think I'm going to do the Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning. It's a 5K (3.1 miles) at the City Park in Parkersburg. My daughter did the last one with me, but she is going to be at her Grandma and Grandpa's on Thanksgiving morning (she's actually my step-daughter and it's her grandparent's year for Thanksgiving). I don't want to do it by myself. Is anyone interested? I did the last one in 45 minutes, so it's averages to about 14 minutes a mile. Just let me know! :biggrin:

Oh....I would love to go.......BUT im cooking the whole dinner this year. :biggrin:

The new layout is a little odd to get used to. I cant find where they put the User CP info that we previously had. How do we get to that info?

I have a question you guys...

I have two cavities...they aren't bothering me or anything but can that postpone surgery? I had the cavities back in April when Jeannie looked in my mouth and she didn't say anything...haven't got a chance to get them filled yet. I am freaking out about this. :biggrin:

Instead of it being on the top right hand side...it's on the complete top. I must admit I am so used to the old format this will take awhile. But I am looking around and figuring it out pretty quickly and it's actually rather nice...still a bit confusing but nice.

Elizabeth ~ Your momma is gonna be JUST fine! The surgical team knows better than to mess around with a fellow nurse!!

Kyla ~ no way could I handle a 5K right now (do you run or walk)...but this time next year I bet I can :biggrin:

Froggi ~ I can't imagine a cavity would stop you from having surgery. I had a cavity when I had my gallbladder out a few years ago, was scheduled for a root canal 3 days after. Everything was fine.

All ~ has anyone heard of "balloon ablation"? I'll spare you the TMI, but I'm having HORRIBLE and frequent periods. The OB/GYN put me on a pill yesterday (I'm fixed so it's just to try to regulate me) but it has so many side effects, several of which I've already had. Having a balloon ablation is an option they recommended over the pills. But if I can wait till next year, after I pay for my surgery, my out of pocket deductable will have been met :biggrin:

      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.
