Thanks I am feeling a lot less sore and a little more hungry , I slept till 9am have just showered and am off to make my Optifast (strawberry) I quite like it , but it would be good to get my TEETH into something lol...will have strained Soup for lunch in between will get my Berroca down ..

Nothing planned for today potter around , maybe do a little book work later (end of the month stuff is a pain) .. I am pretty lucky to have a home office so don`t have to go into the factory office for my work (we have a lady to work that end), I do the wages and accounts from home she does the invoicing, Quotes , orders and telephones....

Well as I seem hungry this morning I am off to eat (drink)...Have a great weekend ...

Well saw the dietitian today, alls going well...

Thursday I can start Blended stuff, so might Make Curried chicken and blend me up a meal on Thursday night ...sounds Yuk ! but after Optifast, Soup and juice it will be something ,I can also blend up spaghetti bol, or Baked Beans ,have a soft poached egg plus I can also start to have porridge or a weetbix in the morning , some Yougarts, pureed fruit and custards.... Its at least a bit more variety.

Still just the 7 kilos lost since before the surgery but she said that for sure I would be loosing fat its just with all the liquids I am rehidrating whatever that is :? and not to worry about the scales for a while just to get the eating right, so as I don`t get a blockage and cause vomiting in the first 6 weeks its important so the stitches holding the band stay put..(of course you all know this..) :biggrin:

Back to see her in 2 weeks then I should go onto real food (I hope) , Can`t wait to be on normal foods even if its just small amounts.

I have a small Band 10ml with a fill limit of 7mls (I think thats what she said) , guess an appointment will get made for that next visit (at 6weeks)....

Off to bed , Have a great week all feeling heaps better not sore much at all now.....

thats really good to hear! i hope so too...

the fill was ok - nothing like a lot of american lap band patients seem to go through! it was quick and easy, a slight bit painful trying to find the port... i felt like i was doing pilates because he asked me to lay on my back, lift both legs and head off the bed! like a situp hehe anyway he found it, jabbed me and put in 2mls... i feel fine so far except for i got really hungrywhen i got home!! i cant explain it, but hopefully i be back to normal tomorrow :(

      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.
