Congrats! I am June 6 too!

Great! congratulations! I will put you on our Jazzy June line up!:thumbdown:

I have a feeling that June is going to be a BIG group! Welcome!

All you Jazzy June bandsters congratulations! Be sure to check out the Monthly thread for June 2008 and put your name on the line up! Great support there!

Where do you buy the Optifast? I have never heard of the stuff Kristy is talking about :thumbup: Is it a protein mix? I would like to find something that would make a fruit smoothie type thing. Most proteins taste kinda salty. I am having issues with my blood pressure right now, (not normal for me) :crying:so I am apprehensive about the protein diet. I also have milk and egg allergies...:thumbup: I have to start somewhere. I go see my PPC on Friday to see why my blood pressure shot up and why I am retaining so much fluid. I will see what she recommends. I may also call the Nutritionist. I worry that I will struggle with my eating habits. :thumbup: I eat mindlessly at times and i am sure I am an emotional eater and I think I also have some kind of issue with needing something in my mouth. :tongue2: I smoked many years ago :thumbup: and I think I still substitue food for the cigs :thumbup:. Crazy!:thumbup: I am open to any suggestions you have. I have thought about getting a straw and chewing on it..:thumbup: I have stopped chewing gum. Gotta go for now, class is in session and I am needed. Great to have the support here!

Wow! I am impressed!:tongue2:

Welcome tai68 and all the others! I am glad to meet all of you. I am getting excited and nervous!:tongue2: I want to succeed at this so much! We can all do this! :smile2:

Welcome to the Jazzy Junes! I will be banded on June 6! Join us in the June 2008 thread for support.:smile2:

Once my claim was submitted I started calling. I didn't wait to hear back. :wink2: I would call and they would check to see if it has been received, then I called 2 days later and they told me it was denied, the doc re-sent some information in a different order :tongue2:and the decision was overturned and approved. In all it took about 5 days. Don't be afraid to call, just be sweet but firm.:wink:Good luck!

Congrats Apples! I am a Jazzy June too!

Thanks for the link, Tammy. I will certainly go there. I can do ok with a small amount of dairy, but eggs are trouble. I will work it out... maybe just protein shakes for awhile. good Luck to you!

I am very anxious, and keep eating my "last suppers" :Banane53: I am required to begin a low carb diet on the 23rd. I plan to use high protein shakes and have small meal in the eveningl It will be good for me. :biggrin2: I have a lot of food allergies, like milk, oats, eggs to name to major ones, so that makes it difficult when I start the protein and any diet, I can't have the cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, etc. :blush:I have to be very creative I plan to eat mostly chicken and fish. I understand chicken can get stuck, so I am going to try different things with fish. Any ideas?:welldoneclap:

Wow! That is getting to be a big list! I wish everyone good luck and quick healing! We will be beginning our pre op diets soon. On the Thin-land!
