I hope all my November friends are doing well. I finally hit my goal weight in January. I lost 94 pounds total. I never thought I would lose that much. I've gained a couple in the last few weeks. I had to get a partial unfill. My bad was not emptying. No matter how early I would eat I would wake up coughing and sometimes food would come up. I can eat the same as before the band so I am really having to watch it. I have been following WW but this week has been bad. I have been stressed (see next paragraph).

My big news is that I will be having a Tummy Tuck, lower body lift and breast lift next week on 06/14. I am very nervous but also very excited. It is a lot of work just getting ready for the surgery. I will spend this weekend cleaning house and doing laundry and setting up my "medical station." My bedroom is starting to look like an operating room. LOL

I would love to hear from everybody.

Hi, I have lost 95 lbs . I am holding at 165 now for a year. I am not trying to lose any more, if I do, good, if I dont, I like 165. :-) I haven't had any issues with my band. I would like to have arm surgery for my bat wings.... How is everyone else doing?

I am 133 pounds down and have not been on here for years. I am not at goal but glad to see others thus far away from surgery. My co-worker had to have hers taken out after just one year. Glad to be a 5.5 year Bandster!!!!!

      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.
