Hello,

I wandered upon this site in the midst of my searching on google. I've been reading some posts here and wanted to introduce myself.

A little about me:

I was just banded on Wednesday, March 2nd.

I'm 30, living in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm a single female, with one super sweet cat smile.gif

My starting weight was: 312 as of July, 2011

Current is: 277

Goal: 162

When I reach my goal weight I would love to:

  • go para-sailing,
  • fly without needing a seatbelt extender
  • fit through small openings
  • walk down narrow hallways without touching each wall
  • Live a joyfully active life

So far, recovery has been good to me and I hope it continues that way. Now just counting down the days till I can have eggs!

Hi Blu! Congrats on your current weight loss! :scales: One of my goals is also not having to ask for a seat belt extender. I always fly Southwest and they are nice about sneaking it to me but still! I also hope to take up horseback riding which I haven't done since I was little. There are so many things that will change with weight loss and I'm really excited to be getting there! Good Luck to you with your weight loss!! :waytogo:

Good to have some newbies. My advice to you is for you to stay true to your eating plan and workout, the first year is when you can lose the most so take advantage of it. Don't make this board your first source of support, you need to be in touch with real people going through what you are. Find a support group and keep going to it.

Also don't get your feelings hurt by people on these boards, most people are trying to help, sometimes we all type something and we mean good but just does not come across that way in typed words.

      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.
