Good Morning -

Well it took me 3 hours to catch up on my work that I missed by being out on Thursday and then furlough Friday. I slept horribly last night and am starting to feel the effects already.

When is your group fill this week?

I am so excited about our group fill. Parts of me only want .25 instead of .5.. i dont know.. I like being able to eat and not PB and not get sick. I guess this week i should pay attn to how long the fill lasts... I do know how a lil bit can feel like a ton when ur close to the sweet spot.

Anyone else going thru these feelings??

I'm ready for another .5 and I think I might be good for a while. I'm really gonna be perfect this week (I've gotten a bit lazy with measuring my food since we've been on lots of trips) and see just exactly how I feel after eating the amount we're supposed to.

I just started my period today and I'm up almost 5 lbs from that...pisses me off! I hope I'll get rid of some of this Water weight before Thursday but I'm not gonna stress over it. I know it'll be gone in a week!

oh Tina hope you feel better. Is this band related?

so here's my update for the evening. I got a call from Kaiser and set my CM appt for Aug 10th. They say they have surgery appts for Aug and Sept. My boss is going on vacation for 3 weeks in Aug so I'll need to push my surgery out till early Sept. I'm ok with that, it will give me more time to prepare. I'm going to try and loose another 5-10 lbs by then. I also need to focus on the strict eating habits so I'll have a smooth transition. I'm sure I'll need all your support and answers to my silly little questions.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday. I've got a busy week; going to Fresno Wed.

No not band related. Pink eye of all things............got it from one of my clients that I was holding last weekend. I had to get antibiotics. Hopefully by Thursday I will be doing better.

Band is fine? Just no restriction today!!

Jes, I so know what you mean about eating around friends. Dr. Fisher said that would be a problem for young people. You know... peer pressure and all.

Ok ladies. I've procrastinated with a paper for school for way too long. I don't even have a topic yet. Can anyone think of a good topic for 6-10 pages on white collar crime or something crime related? Jeez, I've procrastinated so long you'd think I was a legislator or something!

      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.
