just wanted to say Hi to Alexandra - haven't "seen" you for ages and hoping you're ok - missing all your good advice here - Have you gone into hiding to watch the new Lord of the Rings movie over and over????!!!

take care, and know you're missed!

Hey Bright! Thanks so much for thinking of me. Only part of my absence is due to the miracle that is ROTK. (Two times and counting...) ;) You know how life can just go crazy sometimes, especially with kids.

I'm so thrilled that this site is hopping; I've been lurking with dedication and reading almost every message. :D But there's just not so much going on with me, band-wise, so I'm hanging on the sidelines.

No news is definitely good news, though! My weight has been hovering within two pounds of what you see below, and I'm just thrilled it's not been a hassle to keep it there. And all of a sudden, as I mentioned elsewhere, my restriction has suddenly reappeared and that's fine with me too. Maybe I'll get to change my signature before too much longer.

Happy holidays, Bright, and thanks again!!

Hi Bright and Alexandra

Funny. As I signed on tonight I was thinking the same thing - i.e. haven't heard from Alexandra in a while.

Glad you're OK - and keeping up with a positive attitude - even if you're a bit at a plateau.

Happy Holidays to both of you.

Mary

funny...I have been reading and watching everything that has been going on,too...just not saying much. It seems like we work so hard to get our band- worry, fret, think, research, etc...then we get it and it's like...oh...back to regular life!

I am hovering, too Alexandra...but get a second fill on the 29th. I am hoping that jump starts my loss again...but like you- it hasn't been this insane battle to keep off what I have lost. What a feeling.

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday and that the next year brings you your hearts desires!!

      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.
