My sister found a recipe that we modified but really like, 1 cup Quinoa cooked, 1 cup of pineapple, 1 can of mandarin oranges (with splenda), 1/2 cup of crasins, and 3 tablespoons sugar free marmalade....makes a bunch but is really good.

I am just over one week out. My problem is getting my protien in. The sweet taste is getting to me. I do ok with savory, but sweet is just too much. I am getting 3 in a day and should be at 4-5. I am doing ok on other fluids. I think my problem is before surgery I could chug the shakes but now I have to sip slowly. I should move to mushies on Wed. Can't wait

Right now mine is Buffy the fat slayer,

It was so strange, my doctors office called and said they had gotten word from the insurance that I would have to do three more months of dr supervised wl, then 30 minutes later they called back and said I had been approved. They gave me a date 3 weeks out and I had a moment or two of panic, but calmed down. Then they called and said they had an opening a week earlier. I had one afternoons notice to start my prep diet. That was good because I had less time to worry.
I am 5 days post op and feeling really good. Can do just about anything except bend at the waist. I am very happy I did it. It is easy to say don't worry, but hard to do. Just focus on want you want your life to be when you lose the weight.

I am being banded on the 10th. Doing good on the pre-op diet, but getting nervous on the surgery.

Dr. Office called today they have an opening on the 10th so I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. It is really going to happen

I was told this week the insurance company would require 3 more months of dietitian visits, which bummed me out. Then they called back about 30 minutes later and said the medical supervisor at my insurance company approved me without the additional time!!! So I go for my pre-op appointment on the 31st and the surgery is scheduled for the 17th. I am excited and nervous!!

I am scheduled for the 17th and am very scared. First never had any type of surgery, the liquid deit scares me and mostly the fear of failure. But I have to do something I can't continue o live like this.

My desire not to tell is based on several issues...the first being my mother, although I love her an she loves me she is the most negative person I know. She has always been negative but lately it is even worse. I know she would be watching to see when I fail so she coul report it to everyone she knows. The second is I feel that people would be watching me, both for good and bad, but I just don't want to live in a fish bowl. I'm not saying I will keep it quiet forever but for me I think I will do better if for now it is on the downlow.

I think this is the main reason I ont plan on telling my mom or most people. They don't realize how thoughtless simple comments are.
