The coolest thing happened today...

You know how the Kaiser scale is always wrong? Like my last weight check appt, their scale was 8 lbs higher than mine at home. Today was different. I was higher this morning and kinda bumming (but excited that clothes were starting to fit again). I didn't wear my dress to my appt, I felt silly. But I wore shorts, t-shirt and filp-flops. I was lower at Kaiser than I was at home! Good times.

I also got confirmation that there is a Bariatric Support Group at Elk Grove Kaiser, Monday nights from 7-9. In the second floor conference room. Maria? Pam? Interested?

OH Nicole my daughter is on the computer right now.

I am losing cause I am barely eating. LOL. I don't eat much cause only two to three bites and full. No Breakfast to hard and not hungry.

Try to get in two waters before I eat lunch. Doing Soup and salads when they work.

But protien is not so great ladies. That is the stuff that gets stuck if I don't go really slow and chew like a cow!! I don't know how Dr. Baggs will feel about my protien intake..........I keep thinking one day I will get up and it will start to go down than I will want the restriction back.

I think I can work this restriction for a couple of months ya know. But I will go it.

If I see a needle I will tell himi WAIT we need to talk first!! LOL. I want him to know where I am at before I get another fill. I think I am good for a couple of months now.

NIcole, Chris when I hear you high fill numbers I want to cringe!!! OMG if I was that high just shoot me cause I would be a walking mess!! LOL. I would not be eating or drinking............Bless you both with those fills!!

OH MY LORD YOU GUYS. I pb'd for the first tonight!!! It was horrible. We were at Steve's Place tonight for girls night and i had a salad. I ate about 5 or 6 croutons and then started to get that horrible feeling in my chest. I could tell it wasn't going away so I went to the bathroom and my best friend and sis came with me. I was spitting in the sink for about 10 minutes trying to get it to pass but it WOULDN'T.

Finally my throat kinda heaved (it was weird because usually when you puke it comes from your stomach but this is in your throat! It surprised me!) and had 3 little pukes into the bathroom sink. It was definitely the croutons!

SO SO SO gross...up until now I've only slimed twice. This SUCKED. It hurt so bad but as soon as it came up I felt fine. I was wishing I hadn't fought it for so long and had just gotten it over with earlier.

Oh well, no more croutons for me! I'm gonna do full liquids tomorrow just to ease myself back into food.

What a bummer, huh?

Tina, I had no idea the heaving part came from the chest/throat and not the stomach...so weird! How many times do you actually heave/pb before everything usually comes up? I think I did it about 3 times in a row. SO yucky. I can't imagine doing that every day or two, that must really be a bummer!

Go Tamra, get your weight down, go Tamra, get yo weight down! Good job, as these ladies say, 30 lb no prob. (Great quote!)

By the way, Chris my first PB was on a ... small... Peanut Butter cracker! It hurt like the dickens, but the learning curve is teaching me. Good to hear from you Chris, but hope the swelling goes away quick!

Just wanted to wish you all a fantastic, fun Friday!

      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.
