Hey Everyone,

Thanks for all the support! I feel great! I have already lost 11 pounds. Does it usually come off that fast?

I sure hope I feel like posting the same night. Wow, am amazed at you. I hope to join you soon in bandland and would give anything for an uneventful journey like yours. I'm one of those old ladies getting a band, so just about anything can and probably will go wrong :)

Good for you! Glad to hear you a feeling good. You were banded by Snyder, right? Just curious, what was his pre-surgery diet like? I'm seeing him 4/12 for a consultation - already went to the group seminar.

I had my surgery on March 6th and have lost 8lbs already. I am so happy I cant help but to cry from joy. I am having a rough day though. But i am getting through it. Some days I think oh my goodness what have I done. I am surrounded by good smelling food and I can not have any of it. AHHAHHAHAHHAHAH!

      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.
