Hang in there LuLu you can do this. You want it bad enough you can make it happen.

It does go to show you how much doctors differ though. I had a BMI of over 78 and all I was asked to do was lose 5% of my weight which was 24 pounds. I am now day 8 post op and my BMI is still 70...weird

I know exactly how you feel. I havea HUGE BMI Number (80) and have to lose 50 lbs total for him to do the surgery. It is cool with me cause I have 15 gone already!! Just 35 more to go. I have until May the 8th and then I should have my surgery on the 24th. I am Horribly obese and am way looking forward to the band surgery!! Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am doing Protein shakes 3 times a day until the surgery date..want to make the surgery as easy as I can for me and the Doctor. I have 14 days to drop 35 lbs...but I can do it...or at least be VERY close!!

If I can do it, you can too...it just takes a bit of willpower and you will benefit from it very quickly!! Good Luck!!

BTW where do I get a ticker??

My doctor said there is something called gastric balloon that is done for people who need to lose weight for the surgery. It's a balloon that is inserted through the mouth to the stomach then filled with saline solution keeps you feeling full but has to be removed within 6 months. It should help people lose 25-40 pounds or more even.

I am not suggesting, but I just thought i'd share my knowledge :P

Good luck to us all on this journey.

The gastric balloon is not available in the US but I have read about it. It is a short term fix but also very simple and doesn't require surgery. It is available in Canada. Costs around 4500 US dollars

      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.
