John - I really like Cream of Wheat and when I was finally able to eat it after my band it was so yummy - add Splenda to it to make it sweet.

I'm eating my lunch - 1/2 lean ground beef with a packet of ketchup mixed in - I'm pretending I'm eating a sloppy joe without the bun. :frown: I had 1/2 cup baked Beans for Breakfast.

Candra - where are you?

Good Morning all,

Appointment with my PCP went good. He didnt really know what to ask or do so I basically told him. Last week I found a lump on my left side on my back and I asked him about it today, he said its a fibroid fatty cist and its pretty large. He said its nothing to really worry about and if I want to get it removed in the future I can. It doesnt hurt or anything so I think I will just leave it alone for now. I was glad it was nothing serious.

Tina, I am the queen of heartburn before the band. I was taking 2 or 3 pills a day to help it. I emailed Doc Who about it and so Im just waiting to see what he says. I got it this AM from my cream of wheat.. weird...

WHich by the way John is soooooo yummy!! I didnt like it before but I do now. ANd I really liked cream of potatoe Soup, it keeps me full for a long time. I mash the potatoes down really good but they mush in your mouth good too.

Im so excited for the meeting at Point WEst this weekend. I miss everyone. Im bringing more clothes too.

Lee, I think Tam Tam had a sore throat for a while too I would ask her. Mine wasnt bad at all so it probably just depends. Hope you feel better..

Candra Donna..... YOOOOOO WHOOOOOOO where are you guys????

Back to work tomorrow so today is sleepy day. Gunna go take a nap.

Hi everyone,

It's my day off today and days off are so hard to stay on track with food but I am doing good today so far. Yesterday my boys had friends over so I made them Cookies but of course I had to eat a couple but I have put the remaining ones in a baggie and hopefully they will stay put away...lol

I walked 2 miles this morning and it felt pretty good; I have been doing about 1.5 miles in the evening but since I was able to walk this morning in the daytime I felt I could walk longer.

Can't wait to meet you guys this Saturday at the Point West meeting.

I have a funny question, did any of you lose weight in your feet? I so want to wear a smaller size shoe...lol

Have a great day.

I really want my band too. I hear you about it being hard to get back on track. I had last week off from work and went to Palm Springs seeking sun. I found the sun and some really good restaurants too. Arghh... no will power > me. I had been doing great for over a month, but then the waiter asked me what I wanted to drink and I really wanted a glass of wine so...I had a couple. It tasted as good as I remembered.

Back on track now though. I hit the gym at lunch and am praying the scale won't be too cruel to me tomorrow.

      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.
