I like Freedom Fighters. If someone doesn't mind helping me get the logo in red white and blue that is :)

My date is July 24th. I too have been on a 6 month diet program and its taken forever it seems to get here. I am looking forward to NEXT fourth of July and being thinner and happier in summer clothes. :grouphug:

There is another thread on which July Jewels is popular. I thought I was being original when I suggested it, but then I came across this thread and realized it had already been suggested. :grouphug:

Either is okay with me. I just always think of the movie when I hear Freedom Fighters. That's just the teacher in me though.:)

Oh, I just thought of something...what about The Firecrackers? It's a spin off from Freedom Fighters but not so literal. Just throwing that out there.

Evie, I like it too! I wonder if we could just put July in front of it?

I'm imagining it with like red, white, and blue sparkly text. :ihih:

I did a sample for the Freedom Fighter name--- check it out- couldn't find a red, white and blue theme but the red is good? Some of the glittermakers have too long of code for our signature box.... Let me know what you guys think!!

Hey Gang,

I am happy to join in! I am scheduled for July 22. Boy did the 6 months of hoop jumping fly by fast. I wish everyone the best, and hope we decide on a good name.

I like July Jewels and Freedom Fighters. Hey wemmie - this is just brainstorming, so no need for apologies. Any idea is a good one.

I am also getting banded in TX on 7-7! It has been a LONG road getting to this point (initial consult 2-18). I am excited and scared, but mostly excited. :thumbdown:

      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.
