I live in Charleston, IL, but am getting banded in Champaign, IL. My surgery is scheduled for 1/19. Yep, just a little over one day away.

I am looking forward to meeting folks through these boards. I know that having support can make all the difference to reaching success.

I live in Weldon..... I was banded July 2010 in Champaign by Dr. Rohrscheib... I am down 70 lbs. I have had ups and downs. I now am trying to get back on track. I am the type who wants to lose it slow so I dont have a lot of excess skin. I have some restriction. More so in the morning than evening. I am trying to stick to a low cal diet... So far I am doing awesome. 2lbs a week. work out on my elliptical everynight.... Best of luck on your new Journey.... This website is amazing.

I live in Belleville which is about 30 mins across the river from St Louis MO. If anyone would like to/or needs a workout or an accountability partner please hit me up, if you are in Fairview Heights, Ofallon, Shiloh, and would like to work out in the evenings or on the weekends please send a message, also work in Pontoon Beach so anything after work would be ok in Pontoon Beach/Granite City, Collinsville/Maryville area.

      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.
