I am looking forward to it.It has taken me almost 3 years to decide and feel at peace with the surgery.If I had had it at any other time I would have failed because mentally I really wasn't prepared.Now I am and ready for a new me.I am so tired of taking meds that hopefully I came come off some of them.Praying all my buddies do great with surgery and have a speedy recovery.

Well ! You will have a new Birthday also to Celebrate, along with a New LIFE !. That's the most important thing.

Remember,,,, this is a s l o w go. So be patient, once this jumps into gear, and you actually start losing.

You will always be on the downhill slide, AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW YOUR PLAN !

I was banded on 10/26. So we should be on about the same schedule! I would love to be a buddy. Add me as a friend :)

How have you been doing post op? What stage of foods are you on? I'm supposed to be doing mushies for a few more days, but have progressed to real food. I don't seem to have any problem chewing things to get them to go down. Just a hard time getting all my liquids in durring the day. Have you lost any weight post surgery? I really haven't, just a few pounds. I figured that's normal since I was moving off of pure liquids to solid food with very little exercise. But I'm really excited about this journey!

      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.
