Hi All,

This is the first time that i am writing on the boards. I am a happily married mother of 3 girls and i have battled my weight up and down my whole life. I lost 50 pounds by diet and exercising and quickly gained it back....so i am 3 pounds away from my all time highest. I dont get banded until 11/9/11 and it seems so far away! I am so tired of the fat rollercoaster and just want to get off the dang ride! Would you believe that a man i work with had the gaul to say "Hey are you Preggo"?? in front of someone else. I poliely said no....he then goes on to say "REALLY" he was one of the people who told me how great i looked when i lost the 50 pounds! i said yes i am sure...i am just FAT! i didnt know what else to say to that honestly. I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. My doc does not give a pre op diet...after the pregnancy remark i think i will start one! How is everyone doing?

Hang in there.. I 6 ft tall and I'm a big girl.. I hear people snicker behind my back.. I have been going through this process since Feb and I'm so ready to get this weight off. I have only told my husband, my dad, and 1 friend. I don't want anyone to know because I hear people say that we are taking the easy way out. This is so not easy.. This is going to be a ruff road and the hardest decsion I have had to make. I get upset when people tell me I put it on by myself and I should take it off by myself.. I'm awaiting my insurance approval and hopefully within the next month I will finally have my surgery.

Thanks I will. I am telling a select few also. I lost 50 pounds last year with diet and exercise and was down to a size 12! I gained it all back once again! A guy at work asked me if I was pregnant!! I am so tired of the yo yo coaster..I start to think people enjoy my failure of not keeping the weight off.

      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.
