hahahaha, I would have been happy either way as long as either Philly or Dallas was out of the playoffs. I must admit though I was rooting for Dallas because my brother in law is an Eagle fan and we never root for each other lol

so you were banded about a month before I was, how have you found it to be? Have you had any problems or set backs at all?

I'm doing great thanks! I have lost a total of 48lbs so far (it may be a bit more but haven't been on a scale) but having fun trying to figure what to eat and how much. Gave me a reason to get back into the gym which is nice. I have had 2 fills so far and my next appointment is in Feb, dont know if I will need another fill then or not but looking forward to another weigh in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
