I got banded last Wednesday, delayed 2 days due to the Hurricane :rolleyes:

There has been some minor discomfort, not much. I had much more discomfort walking out of a Chinese Buffet!!

What I dont miss is the overeating and obsessing about food.< /p>

I am so glad that I didnt overeat today :rolleyes:

My journey just started, but so far so good.

I went on the liquid pre op and lost about 15 lbs.

My weigh in at surgery was 301 on Wednesday. Today, 3 days later, its 290.

I havents seen the 2's in along time!!

Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences; it truly helps me!!

Good luck to you all!!:rolleyes:

I don't miss struggling to reach my feet to put my shoes on, I dont miss not fitting comfortably on airplanes, I don't miss walking past store windows and thinking if only I could loose this weight.

I don't miss worrying about whether I would be able to fit into the seat on the rides in Orlando when I take my grandchildren on vacation. I barely fit into the new Harry Potter ride (imagine someone jumping up and down on you trying to get the latch to click in place) last summer, and I put on even more weight after that.

I don't miss fast food either!

I don't miss eating anything I could get my hands on just to get that "full" feeling.

I don't miss my back fat rolls touching.

Today is one week!

I am soooooooooooooooo excited!!

You all have given my alot to think about: clothes, rides at the amusement park and even dips.

Until you experience what we experience, the food addiction, nobody can understand.

They can be understanding, but they just dont understand.

I DONT miss "hunting" for food while thinking about a binge: the perfect meal, which of course never happened and only led to terrible discomfort after overeating...AGAIN!! :angry:

Thanks everybody for your support and guidance.:rolleyes:

I couldnt do it without you.

      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.
