I just started a new blog about my past, present and the process that I have had to go through to even get approved for the surgery.

I have my blog and started it for two reasons, #1 to get people to understand why and what I was doing and give them my perspective if they were considering it themselves, and #2 to get all of my feeling out there so they were not "internalized," which is what causes me to eat. I'll check out all of yours!

I will warn you...I am pretty raw and I use the F word a lot blink.gif If you are offended by Sex and the City or just about any article in Cosmo...don't read it tongue.gif

If you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourself and this process....then it maybe for you!

There are tons of posts here where people have stated their blogs. It is go great to read about others experiences.

My blog has gotten a little crazy. It WAS about the band but then there were complications, removal, rebanding, and plastics that it is now not only about the band but struggles with the post op life 10 lbs from goal, living in a foreign country, all while keeping all surgeries a secret from the world.

Anyways it is in my signature

      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.
