First I'd like to start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!!!! My life has made such a drastic change for the better. Im not all the way in the clear, but Im getting better and better everyday. I made the decision to take control of my life and since my surgery last month, I couldn't be happier with my decision. My diet might not be the best this weekend, but you only turn 24 once! I will get back on track asap. Like my doc told me during my 1st fill, "This is not a race, it's a marathon.". I hope everyone enjoys their day. Happy St. Patty's day!biggrin.gif

Happy 24th birthday! Are you a Patricia or Patty in honor of St Paddy's day? You are on the best path for your future and next year at this time, when you turn 25, I know that we will see "less" of you! Good luck . Karen

Your Dos sounds like a wise person. Most folks don't understand that the 'band' is only a tool. Still requires willpower.

      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.
