Hi

My name is Sophie. I am from Birmingham, UK

My Aunt had a gastric band in December 2009. She's doing really well.

I went to see my doctor in January 2010. He referred me to the dietician at the hospital. You have to see them to be able to see the weight loss Surgeon.

I went to see him 1st March. I am booked now to see the dietician and the surgeon in June. I need to be 7lbs down from what I was at the hospital in March.

I've been building up my own business and let things go and gained some more weight. I feel really down about this. From today I am back on the ball. I have joined this forum to get my focus back and to talk to others who are also waiting for their ops. And, those who have had it and can give advice

I really look forward to talking to you all

Love and Light

Sophie xxx

      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.
