I was banded on 8/11 and would like to join the challenge. My start has not been a good as I would have liked because I am not getting in nearly as much liquid as I should because of gas pain/pressure. But my challenge to myself will be 15lbs lost...............I think that a realistic goal?!?!?!

hey!! I had a setback yesterday..I was really dehydrated and didnt drink what I should. i WILL drink my Water today. i need to take in a lot of liquids. After this going up and getting my water bottle. I sent hubby to get chinese won ton ahh it did the trick. Something about real broth says yum!! So after I ws replenished in the evening I had 5oz water with a scoop of Protein and 1 teaspoon natural Peanut Butter. It gave a nice chocolate and pb flavor. I finished that and it was 9pm took my pain meds, sleeping pill and was off to lala land.

Key for me today is DRINK WATER...my goal is 45oz.

I dont know how much I could lose, didnt think to set a weight goal yet LOL I will say first month at least 10-15lbs. I will set that as my goal for 9/11.

Hope eveyone is doing well and keeping their chins up and checking in :)

      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.
