Sept 3.

A shake every two hours?? I can have two a day. And a small supper. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have found after a week I am not as hungry as I use to be. The last two days I have been busy and missed my lunch shake. Yes hungry at supper but not ravenous. Hang in there.. You can do this.

Has anyone else noticed they are dead tired and have a very short fuse while on pre-op???? Today is day 7 and if you have been near me, looked at me, or if I think you looked at me I'm grumpy. No it's not PMS. Worse.

Eww. Your experiences are scary. Sorry for your pains. It has been a joke that I am getting a smily face tattoo over my port site with and arrow pointing to it.... Now... Maybe it's not such a bad idea!!!

Yippee. I think I have passed my bitchy grumpy PMSish hungry all the time phase!!! Actually yesterday I was so busy running kids here there and every where I actually forgot my noon shake.

Good luck.... Enjoy the happy juice!!

Thank you. I read your messages to my hubby. Hopefully bought me some forgiveness.

Went back to complete nutrition.... (wasn't going to cause clerk was too busy trying to get skinny minis phone number n flirting) have a bunch of free samples of shakes.. V-core is awesome!!! Little pricy but if I have to have this everyday forever it's worth the extra $10.

They said my health was good. - weight and family history. Did have terrible high blood pressure. But that was cured by quiting my job!! I guess if they needed more tests they would have ordered them. 7days pre op done only lost 7 pounds... But they said to only expect 5 so I have topped that.

Today is the first day of my pre op diet. Seen RD and NP yesterday and talked about realistic weight loss. My goal is to be healthier not "a size 2". However; they said a realistic goal for my pre-op diet is only 5-7 pounds!! Two weeks of sucking shakes for 5 pounds?!?!?! I can do that with milk of magnesia!!!! Lol (that's a joke) Two weeks from today u become a "band-er"

Yippee!!!!!!

Call them on a regular basis. I have health alliance (state of il) I called twice in a week. The third call it had just been approved. Less than 2 weeks!!

I have tried several (nectar and jay Ross, body fortress). I just went to the vitamin shop and the guy suggested a cassen protien instead of whey protien. Carb/ cal/ fat are all within my limits. But boy it sure does taste better.... And a better consistency. Calling RD on mon to make sure it's ok. He says it's a slower digesting protien which will help stay full longer. Cause I am hungry within 10 min of these whey shakes!!! Hubby n kids having mcD. I'm not even tempted!

Had a minor cheat last night. Hubby n kids had cupcakes for his bday. No I didn't eat the whole thing. Just a 1/4 of one.... So I didn't eat my starch for supper. Today is a new day. Start over fresh.

:-). Everyone will slip. We just have to get back in the saddle.

Everyone is talking about flavorings they are using. Where are you finding these?? I have checked a couple grocery stores and at the wellness stores. All I find is extracts... Help.

You can do it!! I'm on day 5 of 14. It's hard. I have found some "instant flavor coffee" to add to vanilla shakes and it helped a lot! Cruise the posts here and you will find "concoctions" to add things.... They really help. Here is to a new us... The healthy skinny sexy us!!

Ok. Goofy here has looked EVERYWHERE but the COFFEE section. Lol. I wish we had a world market still. Guess I could use this as an excuse to go somewhere that has one.

Good morning banders and us banders to be... Time to kick butt and show the world despite their McDonald's and Dairy Queen ads that plaster our TV and billboards.... We will succeed and come out skinnier and healthier.

Yes. I still fix him 3 meals a day. This weekend we have the kids (previous marriage) I know they aren't going to b happy we aren't going out to eat.

I am STARVING!!! Really. I am ready to bite the cow in the neighbors field! I do good until 2. Then the headache and tummy turn into dr evil! Thinking some coffee, Tylenol n a nap before hubby gets home and I start supper. That or ol bufford is gonna have a chunk out of his hind quarters!!

Wow, well of all these I have learned one thing. I don't have the most obnoxious mother in the world.... There are plenty that are in a tie for first place A few years back I was talking to a guy who had the nerve via text to let me know I was to fat to date in public but if I wanted to come over (editing here) for sex that would be ok... He never (editted) had sex with a fat girl before. Yeah well, the friends I was with at the time I received that message.... Knew where to find him...and they weren't happy that I was in tears. A few days later I received an I'm sorry I upset you text....
