Congrates on the baby! I can only imagine how hard it'll be to get back on track with a baby..but you can do it!. Feel free to contact me anytime..I think maybe we can help each other..My issues aren't a baby (although Ive thought alot about it) mine is the no weight loss due to over eating.. What ever you need from me..advice, or just someone to talk to..I'm here. Good luck.. Nikki

Sometimes I think this band thing is over rated..lol But I know alot has to due with the person..It is hard and I don't think that you should have to go to the gym 5 days a week..I don't but then again I am in the same boat as you..lol but I have started to walk everyday even if it is just picking my son up from school..chooseing a far away parking spot and even just walking around the store (target). I have also come to realize that stomach crunches aren't really all that bad!...So I'm trying..keep the postive thoughts guys...hang in there and lean on anyone of us that you need too.

Good luck to you all.

I am convinced that one's success or failure depends a lot on support.

You need to surround yourself with people who are like minded in your goals, and those who are successful.

Being around negative people can only lead to frustration and slowing down your progress.

      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.
