Hope some August 2008 banders give an update on how things have been going for them. I lost about 23 lbs before surgery and about 11 lbs after surgery. At one point after surgery I lost about 25 lbs but gained some back. My weight loss has not been as great as I hoped but I have not been putting a hundred percent into being careful with what I eat and exercise. I do not regret getting the band and I feel much more in control of my weight then before the band (gaining weight out of control). Without the band I know I would weigh a lot more. I have noticed that my relationship with food mirrors my personal relationships....when they go bad my eating gets bad. At one point in a new relationship I lost the most weight...but when it started to not be healthy I started gaining weight, I then got a fill and my adorable dr. Said he didn't think it was the band he thought something else was going on . I didn't see it at the time...and made him give me a 1/2 c fill. For 2 years I suffered with heart burn from the fill and heart ache from a bad relationship. Well the 3 months ago my fiancé and I decided this was not going to work and he said he was moving out. I began losing weight but still had horrible heartburn so I decided to 1/2 cc's removed. I know I won't gain weight because my head is in a better place and I am more in control of my life path. Sending all my bander friends lots of love! Annabell <3

      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.
