I am in Rogersville. It would depend on how close you are and if our schedules were compatible, but I wouldn't mind a workout partner or even just someone to share the experience with. I am a teacher, and I'm in grad school, so I don't have a lot of free time, but we can see what we can do. Where are you from?

I'm in Elizabethton. Dr. Hodge did my surgery July 27th and I go for my first fill tomorrow. My schedule is a little crazy at the moment but maybe we can become email buddies and support each other. My email is lisadental@yahoo.com. Be sure to put lapband in the subject line because I get a lot of junk mail. I look forward to hearing from you. :-)

Well, I have been sick since last Friday. I am really hoping to be at the meeting tonight, but I wasn't able to work today. If I don't get to come, I will definitely be at the November meeting.

Well, I missed the meeting last night. I hope all went well. I really wanted to be there, but I haven't even been able to work all week. I will be at the November meeting if nothing else happens. I'm really ready to get started, and I want to meet some of you.

Okay...duh! I'm an idiot! The meeting isn't until tomorrow. Maybe I will get to meet some of you afterall. Then you'll truly know what a ditz I am. (I'm in graduate school, and my family all makes fun of me for being "book smart" but lacking common sense. Maybe they are right!)

      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.
