Hey there! How are you other March 2009 Bandsters doing? I was most excited as I finally hit the 100 lbs lost gang! :biggrin: Seemed like it took me forever to get there...and hopefully eventually my mind will catch up with my body. (clothes shopping is really difficult - as I cannot judge sizes and have to try everything on!)

I was just curious how everyone else was doing...I still want to get my pannus removed (isn't that what it is called?) as I have a horrid rash from it, though wearing my body magic has really helped in shaping my figure as I lose the weight....and the "grandma wings" leave something to be desired, but I am still very happy I went the route that I did....who knows where I would be now had I not had surgery!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Things have been good and bad for me. I have suffered from acid reflux. When my band is to tight it is really bad. I had lost 135lbs, until I had my band let out to releive the reflux. and gained 20 lbs back in no time. I am tighter now but I can't seem to loose the 20lbs so it's gotten me a little down worried I am going to go back to the way I was. I don't regret doing this I am healthier and happier. I am working on becoming a support group leader, so that I can help others and my self.

Kim Where did you get your body magic? I have ha a hard time with my waist line and upper stomach area. Glad to hear you ar doing so well. keep up the good work.

Wow you have done great! I signed on to be a distributor as I am in Kansas and I couldn't find one to buy from LOL So I can order you one at wholesale cost if you want --- shipped directly to your door. (I figured by being a distributor I can help friends and family get the wholesale pricing -and feel as great as i do!)

Let me know if you want one...with taxes and shipping it usually ends up being around $110...but it depends on where you live. You can view them on my website -- www.ardysslife.com/figuresforfamilies but ignore the retail pricing on the website! I thot it seemed pricey at first, but this thing has literally changed my life....I feel so much better about myself and LOVE the results. I think it really helped me to get over the plateau I hit.

keep up the good work!

      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.
