:D Hello All,

Your stories are so inspiring, I am newly banded with gastric plication on April 11 2011. Starting weight before the preop diet was 355lbs and size 28 jeans. Since then I have lost a total of 45 lbs and now my pants are so loose that I may need to start buying a smaller size. I am so happy because I have never lost this much weight at one time and I have been in the 300's for the past three years. Not a good place to be. Since my surgery I no longer have to take my insulin resistance medicine and my health is leveling out. I have even inspired my husband to eat better and you guys have inspired me;thats why I love this website.

Good luck to you on your journey and mine,

FeFe

Hello FeFe, I was ready your reply and noticed that you take insulin resistance meds. Or not any more. How has the surgery helped your levels. I too and a bander and had to take myself off the meds (to big to swallow) Beta shots were making me sick so they took me off of it. Just would like to know how things have changed since surgery for you. I am also Hypothyroid as well with Hoshimoto Disease. I am hoping to have some wonderful changes in my levels as well.

      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.
