Farmington, NM. In the Northwest corner. About 45 miles from Durango. I was in Denver last week. I get there every few months as my boss lives there. I work from home.

Yes, you talk to me on OH. I just replied to a thread you had somewhere else on here.

Yeah, but now we are going to be skinny girls in Colorado! Yeah, we can be buddies. I hope your surgery went good, I know with Dr. Snyder it did. What band did you get? Lap band or Realize? Do you have a Blackberry phone? I ask because you were typing on the threads from your cell. Let me know everything when you feel up to it...

Sweet! I like the I-Phones, I have a Blackberry through AT&T though. I really wanted an I-Phone, but at the time I bought it the I-Phones were still like $599 (just before they had the newer cheaper ones this year). :) Oh well, I still love my phone.

I can't believe you are up and talking to me from the hospital right now, HAHAHAHA!! That's too damn funny! Ok, as far as gas pains, will the nurses let you walk around at all? That is what helped me the most that first night that and the fact that the meds he prescribed didn't do sh*t for me (they do now, but the gas pains hurt too much then). I called him and got liquid medicine, it was some sort of narcotic. That worked wonders!!! If you are in pain, tell the damn nurse you need something else or need to walk. The only thing with the walking is that it doesn't make them go away, it just makes them less painful. Let me know what you do, ever since surgery I am up until at least 3 (I took time off work and I am taking advantage dammit!)... :tt2:

Hey Nicole! How are you? I only have the iphone cause my boyfriend bought a new one and gave me his old one. I am sooo hard on phones so I would've never opted to buy it myself! But I do love it. How are you? I have a lapband, what made you chose realize? I had a really hard time trying to figure out which one to go with.

I WAS a fat chick in Colorado...banded almost a year ago. LOL I'm on the western slope. Hope things are going well for you since your surgery. I still have 40 lbs to go and am still considered "overweight." So I guess "fat" would be a relative term. LOL

      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.
