So I was visiting my daughter and grandchildren yesterday... (Nobody in my family knows I am banded) and I'm sitting there and she says to me...

"Mommy, what happened to your Calves?"...

I reacted weird (Defensively) becasue I thought something bad but then she said,

"They are Sooo Skinny"...

I smiled and told her it must be from all the Physical Therapy! (because I had reconstructive Knee Surgery two weeks after being banded...) Now this was very exciting to me as I have not been called Skinny since Phen-Fen 12 years ago....

Later when my other daughter popped in for a visit, while I was making lunch for the grandbabies, She also made a comment (And this one is very tiny, at 5ft 9 and weighing 104 pounds)... She said

"Mom, your withering away to nothing! Whats going on?"...

Again, I was smiling from ear to ear! I still have 50 or 60 pounds to go... What will they think then???

I just had to share my feel good moment....

Now if only my live in boyfriend would notice! He still can't see it! The crazy old fool... Maybe I'll take him for an eye test and see if he needs a new prescription... Better yet... I'll go away for 3 months and come back. I bet he'd notice then. LOL... Bwahahahahaha...

That's wonderful! Your live in boyfriend sees you every day and it's hard to see weight loss that way (but he could say something once and a while). But your daughter doesn't see you every day so that was why she saw the difference. Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the great work!!!

Congrats on the 'feel good' moment. They're better than actually seeing a weight drop on the scale.< /p>

      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.
