So what you are saying is, get in all the calories that I am suppose to and the weight will come off? I gotta try something because I don't go to the doctor until next week and I want to be able to go in with extra weight loss.

How many calories a day are you eating right now?

If I am lucky, I am getting in about 825 calories. How many calories should I be trying to get in?

I aim for 900 a day. That seems to work perfectly for me. For right now the only exercise I get is chasing after my 3 kids but I plan to get back on the treadmill next week when school starts.

Now that I'm on mushies, I am also getting in about 900 calories. I have lost about 7 lbs since surgery last wednesday but seem to be holding at that.

Im home and Banded!!!

Went in tuesday at 10:00am and my Dr assisted with another surgery ...emergency, so was late with me. 4:00 went in about . I was supposably in recovery by 5:00pm ish . Overall was a good xperience. I walked, walked , and walked some more in the hospital. No gas pain ths time ...ThankGod!!!!!

Apparently my surgeon is top notch , i overheard by another patient that he was flown to indonesia by the king and operated on a prince . I guess i picked someone 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.
