The Union Tribune YEAH!



Recommended Posts

I just got a phone call from a writer at the Union Tribune. For those who don't know what that is, its a huge newspaper in the San Deigo area. I'm actually not sure how far out their papers go. Anyway, I did an interview about the lap band in May and its finally going to cycle. It comes out in 2 weeks from Sunday and its the FRONT PAGE! I'm so happy. The lap band is my future. In 6 months from now, I will be working for UCSD helping people who are just like how I was before the Lap Band. I'm so happy. I have always known that I wanted to help people but not exactly which catagory. Now I get to help people feel good about themselves!

THANK YOU LAP BAND!:lol:

the article is also about him. it should be coming out on the 21st. Dr Horgan is amazing huh? The waiting room always sucks but I've never met a doctor who cared so much.

Hollie, we are all so proud of you. I'm so glad you will be getting a new job, that last one sounded hellish. Hey, how often did you doctor let you get fills. Since you were so closely monitored in the study, I was wondering what their policy was. Do you know how much fill you have and the type of band? Just curious.

      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.
