Haha im still at "what the heck am I doing" lol it was hard to this conclusion but after dieting exercising I was getting no where! I have a friend who had it done in 08 was a size 24 n now she's a 8 I was like holy cow!!!! I haven't been in single digits since hmm high school!!! So now after I got banded I'm so optimistic I will become the girl my husband met years ago and I will have the energy I need to play with my kids! I know it will be hard cause I love food!!! I just have to make healthier n smaller portions to satisfy me. Terri do you Facebook or anything? Would love to get to know you, my first friend that got banded the same week I did :) lol

      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.
