Topic: RE: pre op diet ????
I just got home from my blood work and ekg. Talked with Dr. B again. Guess I am set to go. I am suppose to start my pre op diet on I guess Sat. or sun. Depends on how you count the days. ha ha
I will still be out of town so will try to get off to a good start but might have to slip a little but plan to stick to it the rest of the time. I am sure it really does make a difference if you follow their rules.
I hope your surgery goes well. My pre op diet is similar to yours but different, too. I think I understand it better since I talked with them today.

I have not had any problems getting a fill at Tallgrass. I did have to see another Dr. once because my surgeon was out of town.
Topic: OH Events contest: where do YOU want us to come?
The 2007 event year is quickly coming to its end. We've had a lot of fun, met hundreds of people, made new friends, strengthened each other, and empowered ourselves to continue on our journeys.
With the close of the 2007-year, our eyes turn to the future, to 2008. Where will we go?
Our team has analyzed locations, researched demographics, met with support groups, consulted with area professionals for hours.. and HOURS.. and hours! We do this because YOU are worth it. It is our goal to reach out to as many people as possible. But, we can't decide where to kick off the 2008 year! We've arm wrestled, had ping pong tournaments, basketball games and other battles of wills.
So... we need your help to make this decision! We're having a contest. Where do YOU want us to come to? Let us know!
For the month of November, we will leave this post up. Reply and shout out to us where you want us to come to. If you have ever wished for OH to come to your area, now's the time to speak up! Get your friends, surgeon and support group involved!
Simple reply to this post and let us know the area you want us to come to. At the end of November, we will count up all of the votes and we will make the announcement in December.
Rules of the game:
-Since this is a member's contest, you must be a member to vote
-Each member can only vote once for the same area
-Members CAN vote for multiple locations
-One post, one vote. If you want to vote for another location, make a separate reply.
-All votes have to be a reply to this one of the 'contest' posts
-Due to logistics, we may not be able to come to the exact city requested, but we will come to that 'area' as close as possible.
So now is the time to let your voice be heard! Where do YOU want us to come to?
Topic: RE: pre op diet ????
I am scheduled for surgery on November 29th. I started my 10 day pre op diet today! Did you get a pink sheet from Tallgrass? Not sure if yours is the same since you are having Lapband and I am having RNY, but mine has several options. I can have 1 cup of milk, 8 oz of yogurt, or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese 3 times a day. Also I can have 2 apples, 2 oranges or 1 cup of watermelon a day. I can only have that if I don't drink the powerade, gatorade or fruit juice. The juice, gatorade or powerade is limited to two cups or less each day. I can have all the sugar free jello, popsicles and broth I want. I can have three servings a day of regular jello, popsicles or no-sugar added fudgesicles. Like you I can also have the atkins or carb solutions shakes. I can also have all the sugar free beverages I want. Not too exciting. So far so good though. I think I might get bored of the choices though! GOOD LUCK!

Any help with pre op diet ideas. They said I can have adkins drink , no more than 2or3. broths. Clear?? Is it mainly just not having sugar???
I am going to tallgrass? 10 day pre op. I am having surgery Mon. Dec. 3. We will be out of town until Sun. after Thanksgiving. Guess I will be cutting it close as we are suppose to have a big dinner on that SAt. So will have to stick to the diet the rest of the time.
Topic: RE: Starting a Support group in Wichita!!
My daughter is going to WSU and has lap band surgery scheduled on 12/17/07 and I am sure she would love to go to the support group in Wichita - we wondered if there was one. I live north of Topeka and am having RNY in 2008. Please let me know about the Wichita support group you put together (I am pretty illiterate about how to post to this site, etc.) Thank you Iris
