Hello to all,

My name is Jen and I have been a bandster for 5 years. I am accustomed to the Yahoo groups, so this forum is a bit overwhelming for me. Anyway, I just thought I would introduce myself. I am a patient of Dr Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico. I reached my goal several years ago, maintained awhile and then got pregnant with my miracle band baby. I have also adopted 3 children, so that rounds me out to two boys and two girls. My oldest is in Kindergarten. I am currently working parttime as a patient coordinator for Dr Rumbaut.

I am struggling a bit right now trying to get the last 20lbs of "baby weight" off... I am not sure if I can still call it baby weight since my baby just turned two last month... I am having trouble in the motivation department. It truly is harder to re-lose weight! My goal is to be back at my goal by summer...

I hope to figure out how this forum works!

Jen, Welcome to LBT. You baby looks cute in that little picture. Since you've been through this before I have all the confidence that you will do it again. Besides, I would think chasing around 4 babies would get it off of anybody...LOL And it looks like you are doing a great job with the forum, too. If you have questions, just ask...

      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.
