Thanks everyone,

I thought if I followed the rules and did what I was suppose to do, it would work out.

But I am finding out that it takes alot more then that.

Baby steps!

Grandma: You just had the surgery last month. You are doing great..God gives us 1 day at a time. Give your body 1 day at time. Relax, learn the rules because the lapband is in your body for the rest of your life. (if you want it to) I am sure once you reach your goal (and you will in time) You do not want to gain it back ie: yo yo effect. This is it. For myself the last 10 lbs were hard to loose and I realized that if I want to maintain which I have for 1 year. I am to be on it for the rest of my life. I am commited to do so.

Keep up all the good work that you are doing. And sometimes our goal in our head is not the same goal as the body wants to have.

I have also discovered that this journey is also about developing patience and perseverance...you are correct; every journey begins with the first initial small steps!

You are on your way! :)

      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.
