Hello to all,

I have been a lurker for quite awhile and love the bonds that are formed here on this board. I just wanted to come out of lurk mode and say hello.

A bit about me,my name is Beth, and I am a mom of 4 kids ranging on age from 14-5 3 grils and one 7 yo boy. I have been battling my weight since puberty (just a few years ago :) ) I have done the yoyo thing since 7th grade. I am a manicurist/esthetician in Las Vegas NV.

I was going to do GB 2 years ago but felt it was too risky. I wanted to do the lap-band at that time but my insurance would not cover.

So now ins. does cover and I am ready. I have done everything that I need to, and will be seeing my surgeon for the consult on 9/1. Then all I have to do is hope and pray that insurance will say yes, yes,yes!!!!

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. When and where is this BASH!!! It sounds klike fun.

Thanks again,

Beth

You absolutely are not allowed to be just around the corner from DeLarla's and NOT attend at least a small part of the bash. I'm so jealous! I would SO love to be there. You simply HAVE to go!! Here's the thread...

      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.
