I am also interested in a Sacramento lap band group. I live in Elk Grove and was banded at Richmond Kaiser on 8/26/08. I went to a Kaiser Elk Grove bariatric support group meeting, but I was the only one who had lap band and I haven't gone again.

We should think of some places in the Sacramento area that have healthy options for a lunch group date. I'll get a babysitter so I won't be distracted by my 4 year old little girl. :frown: The Arden or Natomas area both have lots of options, what do you guys think?

I think Arden area will be great and also a midpoint for us. We can do Fresh Choice (i know it has some bad choices) however this way we can have better control or we can meet at any restaurant and order salads. How does this sound?

Arden area sounds good to me! Fresh Choice or any place with yummy soups/salads would be good too. Chilis, Applebees, California pizza Kitchen they all have delicious salads!

How old is your baby, Nicole? The surgeon appt is a pretty quick one so I bet they wouldn't mind. You can call and ask them though just to make sure. Do you have anyone that could watch her for you?

I'm available next Mon, Wed or Friday anytime or Tues/Thurs after I pick up my daughter at preschool at 11:30. I could be at the Arden area by 12:15ish.

Oh wow Nicole, I didn't even think of that! Good point. I love going on dwlz.com because they have TONS of restaurants with nutritional info listed. Calorieking.com is another good one too, just in case anyone wants to plan ahead like I will be doing.

Do you guys wanna meet at the Chilis at Howe and Arden? There are lots of choices on the menu and it's a nice casual place that we can hang out and visit.

      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.
