Thank you everyone for your congratulations. I can safely say I have never been happier in my life.

And, I love hearing about everyone else who loves their band too. Like a lot of you I get really tired of all the Debbie Downer posts on this forum.

I understand everyone needs to vent at times but I firmly believe everything in life is 90% mental and if you throw out positivity it comes back to you. Same thing goes for negativity.

So everyone please tell us why you love your band and what it has done for you. Maybe we can help some people change their attitudes around and make positive things happen in their lives as well.

I can honestly say that I love my band too. Congratulations on your success, I am down 43 lbs since March 19th and feeling so amazing. Current weight is 202.6...so close to onderland and will probably do the happy dance when I meet that goal.

      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.
