I am fairly new here, but I have to tell you all that in the short time I have been here, I have cried and laughed so hard at some of your posts! I can't stop reading stuff!! I have laughed more reading these posts and the flat out honesty...from throwing up, farting, pooping, burping, and any other function our body has!! You guys are so honest, and so helpful just being real people talking about all the real things our bodies do!! its refreshing!! Thanks to all of you that have taught me things, or answered my questions, or just for posting for me (and others) to read and learn!! we're all in this journey together...I'm glad I found you guys to make the ride a little smoother!!

Thanks Again!!:puke:

I too am so glad I found this site. The support and encouragement has really helped me on my journey. I only wish I had found it before surgery, I would have been better prepared. How long have you been banded? Best wishes!

Happy to hear it's working for you! Wait until you start to make noises like a dinosaur when you open your mouth after eating...pretty embarrassing. I'm always asking my husband...can you hear that? Yes honey...it's really charming...

Emjay,

That's so funny! My husband is a fisherman and he calls them "catfish noises"!

      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.
