Thank you so much everyone. Whenever I am having an "off" day I will look at these posts from you guys. It's been quite a roller coaster ride the past 3 years but I gotta tell you...it was all worth it and I'm a firm believer that "Things happen for a reason"...I never knew that such a happiness was possible and without my band and my weightloss I don't know how I would have gotten through it all but the life that I live now is the best one that I could possibly ask for.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey with their band. Remember...it's not easy...you will fall off the "band"-wagon more than once...just pick yourself up...dust yourself off and get back on. Life is what you make it and if you work with your band, it will work for you.

Thin feels better than food tastes!!! :bored:

Congratulations on your weight loss! You look fabulous. I am especially proud of your decision to give your ex the boot. My husband has cheated on me online and I was completely devastated...still am... I feel this is because of my weight and I just don't understand why he didn't just leave if he wasn't happy with me. We are working things out because of the kids but I am terrified he will do it again, or even worse actually meet and have a relationship with some woman. What I didn't understand was the fact that the two women I found he was corresponding with were much, much older than me and not that attractive whatsoever. They may have been 'thin' but still, I didn't get it.... I think if I am thin he will love me more.. but will he?

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate all of your comments. I have been told that I have "fat head" by my plastic surgeon. He asks me how I like my new "sexy" body and I just laugh at him and tell him he's crazy. I still can't believe that I no longer wear a size 22/24...life is crazy but I love it.

Bert99...I sent you a pm.

      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.
