Thanks Daisy:) I really think this is my best choice as of all other diets have failed! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? My insurance kicks in June 1st so I'm so excited to make the call to see if it's something they cover!

I think we've all been through that vicious cycle. Losing weight, then gaining it all back, and then some. 13 days post op and I feel really good. I am measuring my food, getting myself on more of a schedule and taking it slow. I am so happy to hear your insurance covers the band. Feel free to message me any time with questions.

I've always been on a diet and it never works. I was a nanny for four years and it was a extinct schedule and most of our meals came from a drive through. I'm ready for a set schedule. I'm ready to do social things with my friends that aren't just always dinner. Eating is always the social thing in my life. I called my insurance and I has a 200 deductible and they pay 90 percent after te deductible. It kicks in June 1st so I'm going to try and change my plan bf then to avoid the deductible. Should've paid more attention in picking my plan lol also once my insurance kicks in I can use it for lap band. I don't have to wait any certain amount of time. Now to research a seminar to go to:)

How is the diet bf and what have u managed to get down after? I'm so exited for us all:)))

Be sure to check out support groups in your area while at the seminar. You can meet people in person who have gone through this and those that are just starting.

      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.
