Recommended Posts

Alright ladies are we on? I know I am ready for our monthly outing. I know Angie already said she couldn't make it. Anyone else be there or will I be alone. :)

Friday's on Harris Blvd @ 11:30!!!! Anyone is welcome to join us we love meeting new people....

Oh and for those following the Dr. V story....saw him today...I feel really good. Found out he is leaving the surgical group. As of right now he "could" still be our Dr. He will find out in a few weeks. Personally....if I keep saying my prayers I think he will continue to be our Dr. Although I know Dr Z will be great also...he has been in the OR for lap band surgeries and has been working on fills in the office. So I think we are good to go....

Saw Dianne on my way out of the office....had my little one with me so I couldn't sit and talk....

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to St. Louis to see my dad, he is doing liquidation sales now and is gone for 6-8 months at a time. It was great we had fun...I will try to have some pics soon....

Kim don't you need to change your ticker!!!

Bye the way guys, since I'll never have a ticker, I can tell you all, I've lost 11pounds since last Monday. Which really means a total of 13 since, well July.

So I did go on the scale again today, but that is the last time until I go to the HOSPITAL on Monday! Holy COW! MONDAY....

Anyway, I can make it there at 11, I will have to leave about 12, but at least we will all be together for a little while.

Just please give me directions...

11 am at Friday's University. I'm there!

Dianne, you'll be coming up 485, then go South on I-85 for a few miles to the Harris Blvd Exit. Cross over 85 (in the "towards Charlotte" direction-South?) and follow Harris for less than a mile and you will see Fridays on the right. Easy cheesy.

I wish I could be there girls! This field trip was suppose to be on the 10th of September and they changed it on us. It messed everything up. I have a busy day on the 24th. So sorry I have to cut you guys out. Next month I will be there and will make sure nothing messes it up! BTW, I am down to 187 so 39 pounds are gone forever! I am so happy!!!! Hopefully I will have more gone by the time you see me next month! :) Good luck to everyone's up coming surgeries!!!

Dianne if you are taking 485 to 85S - once you are on 85S you will take Exit# 45A (it's the second Harris Blvd Exit)

For those coming north - it's the First Harris Blvd Exit.

Kathy is right---- "EASY CHEESY"

Angie we are going to miss you...but if you keep loosing like that girl you are going to put us all to shame. Great work!!!! Stay with it girl...and at no fill you are amazing!!!! See Melissa what you have to look forward to...

See you all there. :)

Thanks Kim! I am working my heart out. It is slowing down a bit, I only lost 1 pounds last week and I was like oh hell NO! :) So I have stepped up my workouts and started lifting weights. Hopefully that will kick start some more. If it starts slowing down like this then I will get a fill next month. Fills are 200 dollars and they have to be paid up front and then I submit it to insurance. Weird how that is but oh well. I really need to do it I think because I am starting to feel a bit more hungry throughout the day.

Please take pictures for me so I can see how everyone is doing. I hate it that I am missing it because I do like to get out and hang with you ladies.

Fills are 200 dollars and they have to be paid up front and then I submit it to insurance.

I was not aware that these fill's were $200 each time. I am just scraping together my $$ for the copayments for the nuritionist and consult. This will confirm that I'm glad to switch to RNY. I have difficulty comming up with money for extras.

I do work fulltime but money is a major source of stress. We pay fulltime daycare and my husband has been out of the 'fulltime' workforce and a fulltime student. I'm glad to know this information ahead of time.

So honestly, I just want the RNY and not have to have the maintenance and follow up. I figure between consults, copay's, hospital, nurtionist, and any other misc expenses this is close to $1k up front. I'm very analytical so money matters give me anxiety. I'm not looking for a size 2, i'm looking to releive all the copayments and medicines' that I'm buying for my two chronic problems.

I'm done rambling...

      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.
