Im Kimmie :) Im new to this site and im looking foward to reaching my goals and making new friends while im on this journey.

A little about me... im 30, gemini, mother,wife, loves movies,art, music,games, and knitting occasionally.I work as a RNA for special needs adults and i love it. i also plan to go back to school to be a phlebotomist/lab assistant.

I do exersise as much as possible. I tend to get tired easily so my motivation is just not there. its funny because im married to a man who does strongman, you would think i would have PLENTY of motivation! lol, hes very supportive and loving and doesnt expect me to look any certain way. just wants me to be healthy.

Lately though, i been getting alot of jabs regarding my weight. Its nothing new but its becoming more frequent. hell, i even had a woman tell me " you have such a pretty face, its a damn shame about your body". ????? now, im not a violent person but i really wanted to be THAT day lol.

ok ok, this is turning into a novel. Anyway, Its great to be on this site and i wish you all well with your endevors!

Kimmie

P.S. Im not the best speller lol :D

Hey Kimmie, welcome to LBT.

Have you been banded yet?

I hope you find lots of great information and good friends here. There's a lot of both.

Keep posting, because we all want to know as much as you're willing to share--especially about your band, and how you feel pre and post op.

Good luck!

Debbie

      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.
