Hi tko7...

Looks like we have similar numbers.... I am 214 lbs and wish to be around 140 lbs. Maybe we can "buddy up" and follow our progression and issues. I think this forum is fabulous, and has been very helpful so far.

I haven't really told anyone about the surgery apart from my husband and a friend. So this forum has been nice, so I can talk about it. I will eventually let my friends and colleagues know, but for now I won't. I am afraid they will try and talk me out of it, and I am focused now, I am ready. :thumbup:

Speak later :scared2:

Hi, my name is Lisa and I was banded on 9-28-10. Get my first fill on 11-10-10 and I can't wait. I do not feel full when I eat and I am sticking to Proteins. I get hungery around 2 hrs after I eat, but am not snacking. I could easily eat more but afraid to put too much in my pouch and stretch it out, so I don't know if I am eating enough. I think maybe I will drink some sort of Protein Drink between a meal and see if that helps. Anyone have this problem?

      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.
