Hi Jewel!

I met Dr. Foster back in 2003, she's very nice. My Doctor now is McKeen of Good Sam. (was banded by Dr. Sanchez, Monterrey Mexico) there's a great group in San Jose...being summer there is less activity...meetings and such. But I would love to meet up with you. I'm off Dunne in Holiday Estates on Anderson lake. PM me otherwise I'll be thinking of you on Monday!

Yah I weighed in on Monday at 369 on my weight and today I was 355. Not to shabby... My scale is off so I am waiting to post my new weight until I do it at the doctors office.

I weighed in on surgery day at 348.1 so I will wait and see what the Dr. scale says next week during my first post op visit.

      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.
