Just reading from other posts, I am very glad the steps that they take to prepare u for this change. The journey pre and post-op is still not the "easy" way out a lot of other ppl think. it will take time, dedication and disicipline. All these things are worth it to me. I have a beautiful 9 month old son that I would love to see grow into a man. on my current unhealthy course, i fear that may not happen. I am glad that technology is as advanced as it is. so i am glad we are both taking the time: NOW to seize this opportunity. stay in touch :)

Hi, I'm newly banded on July 12th so I am post-op 12 days. Doing well have lost a total of 11 lbs. Have had a problem with bloating and Constipation last 4 days. But have now solved that with some OTC meds for stool softening. Feeling great now and very excited to start my journey. Jenece:lol:

Good for you! I have a 20 yr old Son and a 17 yr daughter. Because I was so heavy I have not been any fun. You are doing this at a great time for the right reasons. No this is not the easy way out and yes a lot of people think that. I had to stop myself the other day from starting another diet. Not good!!! We can do this! I will be able to sit on my husbands lap again. So many things I have not done over the years. I will make up for them all as soon as I can MOVE! :smile2:

Congrats Jenece. I think we will all b able to appreciate the little things when we r banded and now that u r Jenece i'm sure u do! What a blessing! :smile2: I can't wait to walk into a room and feel like eyes r on me for a GOOD reason lol :smile:

I used to model prior to giving birth to my son and was sooo excited b/c during pregnancy i LOST about 30 lbs. I looked great...soon the stress of new motherhood, being single, going to college full time and then back to work full time I have climbed to 310lbs since nov/dec 2009 - last time @ the doc office! I was mortified! I weigh more now than BEFORE, DURING AND RIGHT AFTER pregnancy. i just feel so depressed. I am an aspiring plus size model and working on getting down to a size 14...that is still my goal :ohmy:

So health, life (with our kids, significant others and fam/friends) and looking good. I think we can all agree to that ladies :wub:

      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.
