Oh Nicole go to Greece you would LOVE it!! Different there people are very accepting and non judgemental. Family is HUGE in Greece...........and a bit of partying goes on over there. Well ok maybe alot of partying and night clubbing.....

Yep I am going back someday. My daughters family all lives over there and her dad. So we are going back. Just to expensive right now!!!

Nicole I agree with Mike Greece is a great place and very romantic if you go island hopping. Athens can be a pain sometimes which is where I lived. But OMG I LOVE GREECE.

Greek men..........well ok like Italian men but here I go spilling all the secrets tonight. I already foolishly disclosed what I know about Italians..............and there I go dishing on the greeks..........will it never end!!

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great 3-day weekend. I've been trying to catch up on the 4 pages of reading. You all are so motivating to me.:smile:

Reggi-glad you are feeling better. So how was it with Dr Park? Isn't she your surgeon? That's who I'll have eventually. Still trying to loose these last few pounds. :eek:

Oh, has anybody seen the lapband commercial? I saw it for the 1st time today. I don't know why but it kind of validated things for me. I'm like, that will be me soon.

Anyway, hope you all have a good rest of the week. Can't wait to read all about it.

Jes

Hi Jes,

Thanks, it's good to be banded. Yes Dr.Park is my surgeon, she is pretty mellow, quick not much of a talker but answers all your questions. I think dr. Baggs maybe a lot more entertaining as read and hear. I like Dr. Park.

Hey girls! I've been really busy lately, haven't been online too much. You've all been busy!

Riley--Robin, Dr. Baggs and Beverly all told me that the appt on the 25th is the first time they've done this group fill. It's supposed to be 1/2 hour with Robin and 1/2 hour for the fill. They said that we should expect to be out within an hour and a half.

Dr Baggs told me to plan more time then just an hour. Which makes since. Because WE all sit with robin for 30 min, then one by one we get our fill. In the order they choose, ok in 30 min he can not fill 10 people. So i am not planning anything else for that day. I can tell you my first fill was a min of 15 min. from the prep, numb shot, fill, drink, and talk to him. I was there for an hour total.

Hey Chris are you going tomorrow?

Holy crap Sheena! I'm so sorry to hear about your horrible weekend. Your poor little baby, I bet that just about killed you. I know I would've been bawling my head off too. It sounds like you have a good support group that will be there to help you out after you have surgery this week. Good luck to you and your little family!

      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.
