I used these forums to get through the approval process and everyone was so helpful. I was Banded on Oct 19th 2009. A month later we found out we were expecting. I guess I wasn't infertile after all!:P

My Dr. was quite disappointed that I became pregant so soon after surgery, but honestly I had been diagnosed as infertile and we were going to start fertilitly treatments in 6 months. To say we were overjoyed and felt blessed was an understatement! I never had my band filled during my pregnancy but tried to eat sensibly and I'm happy to report I'm still down 50lbs from my original starting weight before being banded. I had two fills this past year since delivering our little girl and I have 5cc in my band right now (it's holds up to 9cc). It's doing nothing. I get another fill in two days. I'm praying it helps. I tore a ligament in my foot and can't really excercise. I'm trying to keep up with a baby who is about to walk and I want nothing more than to lose weight and live a long and healthy life to watch my baby grow up. I feel like I need some help right now with staying on track. So here I am again. Hi everyone! I'm Denise and it's nice to meet you all again. :)

      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.
