I use Dr B. also and I did eat sweet potaotes on the Sugar Busters diet, I still love to have them as my vegi every now and then.

The tv thing was also hard for me to give up while eating, I just had to learn that it was better to concentrate on eating than to blindly shove food in my face. After you get the band and start on solids you will not need any distrctions, they make it easy to eat too big of a bite or overeat all together.

Take care and best of luck to you.

So far so good, Did you eat baked sweet potatos on the pre-op? I saw on a sight that they are okay foods on sugar busters but it doesnt say that I can have them on my sheet from dr b's office. So far I'm doing good, the biggest challenge is not eating with the tv on. I can't believe at how addicted to watching tv while eating I am. I have lost about 5 lbs so far and Im only on day 4 of the diet! I know its just Water but hey, every little pound counts!

5 lbs in 4 days......that's awesome.

I had sweet potatoes too. I ordered them a lot when eating out, it's a good alternative to fries and baked potatoes if they have it. It sounds like you are doing great.

I used to eat in front of the TV a lot too. Now that I'm addicted to this website, I have to watch eating in front of the computer......actually, I'm eating right now :hungry:. It is best not to have any distractions like Jeannie said. I don't do it a lot, but I have to be really careful because I tend to eat more food, when I do.

Mia, I posted on the Albany GA thread about meeting on Feb. 7th. It hit me after I posted that your surgery was that day. Jeannie wasn't able to make it that day either.

LOL I was wondering why my post never showed up on the albany thread, looks like I clicked on the wrong email to respond to. Feb 7 will be good for me, I'll be limited in what I can have but surely every place will have Soup.< /p>

Pamela,

I am new to the group. I live in dublin, ga. I am actually going for my first fill in Moultrie this Sat. 1/12/08 by a lady named Darlene Zebley. My dr. referred her to me. Where do you get your fills?

I get my fills in Albany at the Obesity Treatment Center by Palmyra Hospital. I've never heard of this lady that's going to do your fills. Is she a nurse, where does she work?

How far is Dublin from Moultrie?

We'll make sure we chose somewhere that has a good variety of soup for you. Good luck with the surgery coming up!

Did anyone get a sleep study done before surgery? If so who did you use and how much should I expect to pay?
