About Yourself

Neat thread! I'm Abbie. I'm 31 and was banded the day after my birthday, on April 21. I live in Virginia and do marketing and public relations for a hospital. I've been married to my wonderful husband Ryan for almost 4 years. No kids yet, but that is the plan after I lose the weight I want/need to...I want to be healthy before we start a family. So, for now, our only child is a very hairy, rambunctious five-month-old goldendoodle.

So far, I am very happy with banded life and am liking watching the scale move in the right direction for once! I wish you all the best and look forward to going through this journey with all of you!

I'm Lauren and was banded on April Fool's Day. I live north of Houston, Texas with my husband and three dogs...plus a few more now and then that visit..., 2 noisy Quaker parrots, and 3 cats. One adult son stays here with his dog a couple nights a week when he finishes class and is too tired to go on home. I also joined the forum for those of us in their 50's. So far I have lost 18 lbs...didn't bother with losing pre-op. Just made some changes in habits rather than concentrating on a diet, so most of this is post-op weight loss. So far so good.

      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.
