Hmmm LOL

I guess everyone has their opinions based on their experience. I have a friend getting RNY from Fisher and we debate it all the time,but I've resolved with the fact that she's happy with her decision and I am/gonna be happy with mine.

Plus even if I only loose 50 lbs total I'll be happy with changing my eating habits and getting healthy. and I need that constant accountability so I stay on track.

yea, what are you going to do? suck it up and pinch pennies. Supposedly they are doing the furlough so they don't have to lay anybody off. Luckily we have a 4 person unit and what we do is a national requirement.

Tina im on Kaisers Steps program, put it in the back of your head to remember it. It works if anything happens with your insurance.. I pay 100 for my kaiser insurance, im on step number 2. Last year i was on step number 1 and paid 47. For audrey i pay 5.00 she is on the childrens plan. Which is awesome we pay nothin. And that is up till they are 18.

So make ur memory notes;)

      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.
