Seriously curious

Diet Coke, when consumed with ANYTHING, will cancel out all calories. As for liver, who would even eat that?? Ewww.

Diet Coke is also a great douche but only the kind in the bottle. Cans - oh, no way, baby. Aluminum will destroy your band. I read that in my pre-op instructional booklet that I have laminated and will keep for all of eternity. Or until I am forced to switch to the sleeve.

I'm from the ghetto. I don't know what big fancy words like negate means???

It's a short gate, about knee height. It's the shortened version of knee gate. :o

Dunno. Depends on how ghetto you are.

I think you can find them at the little people stores. C'mon, can't you do ANYthing yourself?

No, I can't do anything for myself. Don't you know that's why I come here, so everyone can tell me exactly what to do??

Well, I had a fun day. I dropped off a $5000 check at my surgeon's office. Now, I may be a bit sensitive 'cause I'm getting banded soon, but...I swear I heard the receptionist say it was great that I came by. Now they could actually afford to turn the instrument sterilizer thingy on again. Should I be concerned?

Then, I went grocery shopping. With my dad. He rode in one of those motorized carts. We have been asked not to return to that store or any others in their chain. Again, should I be concerned?

I'd be more worried if even after your $5,000 they still couldn't turn on the sterilizer thingie.

Your doc is doing it as an outpatient in his back office, right? In a barcalounger?

Gee, you're one to talk. I heard your doc did your band in a LaZBoy. At least mine has fake leather. Faux suede - ewww, how tacky for you.

But I really hurt where my band is. And I want to get pregnant but I'm overweight by 200 pounds and my doctor won't help me get pregnant. Will the band help me?? Someone answer soon.

So how do you want your doctor to help you get pregnant? Mount you? They might charge more for that. Just sayin'...

      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.
