I hope it is not to late to join this challenge. I have been banded almost a year and have been stuck at the same weight for about 3 or 4 months :( I really need to get back on this site more because I noticed that was when I was lossing more weight. The last half of 2010 was very stressful (my grandpa passed away after being very sick and in the hospital for a little over a month, then two weeks after he passed we found out my grandma had cancer, then a classmate of my daughter passed away during a high school football game...I could keep going but you I think you can see my point).I really got caught up in taking care of everyone else and stopped focusing on me at all. Now we are planning a surprise trip to Walt Disney World in June and I really would like to see some more weight come off before we go.

      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.
