GREG~~~ You live in Anniston?? Have we met? I live in Jacksonville..... hmmmm where do you work???

My name is Kanina Im 28years old...

I was banded Jan 2008 by Dr. Black.

I have lost 110lbs however last summer I had to have my band unfilled and had my gallbladder taken out...d/t reflux BUT i still have reflux so my band can only be minimally filled :-( But I am happy to say I am back on my way and within the last month I have lost 15lbs of what I gained over the summer!

AND I agree it is way too quiet on these boards we need to keep posting and keep supporting!!!!!

My goal is a size 9/10 like I was in highschool and IM ALMOST There.

I plan to have brachioplasty this year or next and after I have kids I will do a total mommy makeover with Tummy Tuck, thigh lift, and boob job!!!

Kanning don't know if you remember me but we have chatted on here a long time ago...Do you still get to see Jason?

Talking about a tummy tuck and boob lift , my wife will probabbly have those done in April. Don't know the dr's name but his clinic is on Ft. McClellan. I think she get them both done for $7200.

By the way if you get the time...the Zumba class up at the Fitness Center will get the pounds off.....They work you hard.

      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.
