:confused: I was banded December 1st and Mandy will have her surgery March 23rd. She is 18 and a senior this year. She had to have some heart test done before she was ok for surgey. If you remember she passes out when she exercises.He has to put her on Meds for low blood pressure. I posted Not just the skinny girls get picked for Homecoming Duchess a few months ago.If you want to see pictures click the link below.

What a beautiful young woman! Those eyes.. wow.

It doesn't seem as if she's missed out on friends and school activities.. but I'm sure the weightloss will change her life. Sincere congratulations on her approval. Send along best wishes for her surgery, speedy recovery and an incredible journey, from Dawg and me. :confused:

Your daughter is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have done this in high school. My how my life might be different now. I dearly love my husband and child with all of my heart but, I often wonder what I could have accomplished with a little more energy and self esteem. I am so excited for your daughter! Best wishes on her surgery and a speedy recovery.

      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.
