Howdy Cheri, pull up a stump and take a load off. Before you know it you'll be takin' up another notch in that belt.

"Only" 28 pounds in three months? Are you kidding? That's a fantastic achievement. You're doing great! Congratulations -- and welcome.

HI Cherie,

My name is Jenny and I am due to be banded in two days time at Solihull, West Mids! In three months time if I have lost 28 pounds I'm gonna be thrilled.

Have you been watching Supersize Surgery? I can't believe I am going through it myself! I go to the Dolan Park Hospital myself - featured on the show.

Just a question for everybody - this might be silly but does everyone need surgery afterwards? Tummy Tucks etc. or has anyone snapped back into place? That scares me more than the band!!

Good luck and I hope we will share this journey together! Any advice for the big day?

Jenny :clap2:

      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.
