I'm meeting with my surgeon on April 27th, and hoping to have surgery scheduled for the end of May.

I'm 28 and my goal is to lose 100lbs.

I too would love to have someone to chat with as I make this life change and adjust to new ways.

Hope to find some people to chat or email with!

Thanks!

Hey all, im 26 and I just got banded yesterday! I think we all are taking care of this at the perfect age, where our skin for the most part should shrink back, and our bodies are the strongest they are going to be to make the process even easier.. Please feel free to add me as a friend or read my blog! Congrats to those banded and great luck to those who are on the path!

      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.
