Debbie....Welcome to LBT. So glad you found us. I was born in Laurel, MD. I love it there. My dad always called me "The Original Maryland Crabcake", because I don't do mornings...shall we say...very well...LOL.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date. That is wonderful. The time will fly and it will be here in no time. Good luck with all of the pre-op testing. I know it can be tedious but it's also important.

Best of luck to you.

Hello ,

Thank you for welcoming me to LBT. Looking forward to posting my weight loss.

I live in Bowie,MD and seafood is a favorite, but the sacrifices we must make for beauty..lol. The crab population will reach its peeks this year,due to it being a no no for me...this summer. Is it possible to suffer from shrimp withdrawals? OLD BAY seafood seasoning could be my signature scent..lol

TAKE CARE

Debbie,

I am scheduled for June 30th! Also - you should be able to eat seafood this summer. My Dr. recommends it as one of the first solid foods to try. He suggested foods that swim - fly - walk. One month of protiens that swim, then the next month work in things that fly, poultry and then walk the third month, beef and pork.

I love crab and shrimp!!! oh, and lobster!!! There is a thread for June bandings, make sure you sign up if you haven't already.

good luck!

      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.
