Starting Weight: 259.7

Current Weight: 226.4

Other fun facts: I skate roller derby and am generally very active. Happily married to an awesome musician. I have two beagle rescues, love vintage clothes, fashion and music.

Where in NoVA are you located and who's your surgeon? I live in Loudoun county and will have my band installed by the surgeons at Blue Point Surgical Group out of NoVA Fairfax (Dr. Halmi). I hope to get banded the week prior to Christmas 2011, but that depends upon insurance and whether they approve me or not. Stats:

  • 45 y/o female, not married (divorced), no kids
  • work as defense contractor (boring, huh?)
  • enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking w/my dog, mtn biking, skiing w/friends
  • also enjoy entertaining but that will likely change in my post-op life
  • am a foodie, but must change some of those habits to be successful post-op
  • plan to workout at 5am in my post-op life at Golds Gym in Sterling/Cascades
  • am not too big a music buff nor a movie buff, but I appreciate those who have the talent
  • I'm a dedicated Christ-follower (if that's not your thing, I understand)
  • have a great dog named 'Clyde', he's a rescued labrador retriever and we're now trained as a therapy dog team

That's about sums it up. Lemme know if you'd like buddy-up.

      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.
