So glad to see you back Nicole. Has Auds adjusted to the new place?

Hope you are feeling better Maria. Hope you don't have the flu. Did you get your flu shots this year? I made sure I got both the seasonal and H1N1 shots as I sure don't want to get the flu and have to throw up as it can damage our bands. We missed you today. I took my daughter along to have someone to talk to in the car.

What is a good day to meet - I would like to set up a get together at my house for whomever wants to come - which day is better for most of who would want to come - Friday evening, Sat or Sun? I need more support than once a month at Point West.

Pam that would be really nice! Saturday's are always good for me, my mom and ex both work fulltime, so Saturdays are easier for me babysitting wise. Sunday my mom likes to "kick back" and my ex's family comes to visit my daughter!!

Welcome back Nicole!! We have missed you!! How is your little girl?

Thanks for the recipe link Candra - I am going to make a version of it this week too.

I woke up at 5:30 am, let the dogs out and jumped back in bed - I had the alarm set for 8 to get my son up for his "chaperoned date". Poor guy was nervous as he had never met her dad or 21 yr old brother - I am doing laundry and more laundry. Going to clean the downstairs bathroom from top to bottom as soon as my daughter gets out of the shower. I miss the lady who cleaned my bathrooms once a month. :unsure:

I'll check in later.

Morning ladies!!

I slept so good last night, but I did my pilates abs and today my stomach is KILLING ME. any way I turn it burns lol...but I feel flatter already. Dunno!

So I found a treadmill on craigslist in Clayton for $75. I know I shouldnt spend the money when I am not working, but I want to cancel the gym membership and just walk/run at home with my daughter is taking naps, or at night! It works out better for me. My friend who was giving me one never said anything about bringing it yesterday like she said she would, so I give up.

K gonna shower, bbl!

Good Morning All,

I slept pretty well too! I've had my coffee and am contemplating breakfast....Well, lunch given what time it is...I may go eat a few slices of turkey and a string cheese. I must prepare for my fill tomorrow and the liquid diet that follows....

I plan to hit the treadmill when the baby goes to sleep.< /p>

Have a good day!!!

Hello Everyone!

I was looking at the first post of this thread and can’t believe it’s been over a year. I remember reading the first few posts and thinking I just wish my doc would refer me as he denied my fist request in Oct ’08. My PCP thought Kaiser outsourced for the band but this thread and others quickly gave me the information I needed. I’ve learned so much from you all and can’t thank you girls enough! Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and slimmer 2010!

Well two band surgeries later here I am anxiously, well sort of waiting for tomorrows appointment in Richmond! Hopefully I’ll get another surgery date so I can join most of you on the real post-op side. Funny whenever I call Richmond for the semi-usual unfriendly service they ask if I’m post or pre op. It’s always fun explaining…

OK maybe I’m slow but Candra I just saw Bridezillas on the Directv guide on the WE channel. Had to tune in for a few minutes to get a taste of what you’ve been going through. It’s on all day today. Funny!

      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.
