And it seems a lot of us are hairdressers or nurses. Next we will all be having bladder suspensions since we have to hold it all day too!

You will get through it! It'll probably help with the adjustment afterwards as well.

I have a date tonight. Nothing too exciting, someone I've seen before. Almost a year ago and things between us just faded away. I'm looking forward to catching up but really don't expect much more than that.

Funny thing is you never know. I dated a lady a couple of time 6 years ago and it just faded. I ended up meeting someone else and getting married. Wife took off, I got divorced and ended up meeting up with the old friend and we are now going on 5 months together. You just never know.

I am another April person. Just got my date and I will be banded Monday April 16th.

My doctor tld me I had to lose 30 - 50 pounds before he would operate on me and so far I have lost 66 but it seems like it is getting harder. My goal is 82 (want to be down to 400) before surgery and since I have to go on the liquid diet 2 weeks before I think I may make it.

I will jump over and check out the other group.

      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.
