I had a great one yesterdsay. My Aunt and Cousin ae down in the area visiting colleges on my cousin's spring break and I hadn't seen either one really since before I was banded. I had run to the store to get some drinks because they were coming over, and my mom didn't tell my aunt how I looked because she wanted to see her reaction. I walked in, her jaw dropped, and she started crying. She said Im the Sara she remembers from when I was 4 and 5 years old. Back when I was nice and small, lol. She couldn't stop staring, it was awesome. ANd my cousin said that if she hadn't known it was me, she would have passed me on the street and not recoginized me. Their reactions made me feel so good, especially since my cousin is like 6'2" and super skinny. Like, she could be a super model skinny, and she beautiful and exotic looking on top of it. :)

I had taken off my clothes, when my husband said, your overhang(on stomach) is going down, hardly there now. "Turn around, let me see your backside, wow! The pool is really tightening you up." That was a great feeling, as I have lost 104 lbs and am a little flabby still.

      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.
