Hey y'all it's been a while since I've been on here. I'm so excited to Celebrate my one month anniversary!!! I'm down 23 pounds!!! This has been the best thing I've have ever done for myself. I've no problems what so ever, I did almost have some food stuck but it wasn't bad. I'm very careful to chew chew chew my food. I'm still doing a lot of burping but all in all it hasn't been bad.

If there are any others out there that have been banded on May 11, 2012 I would love to her from you....and anyone else for that matter.

Love and God Bless,

Tammy

Dont even sweat it! I know its super hard to do especially if you have your own scale but pick one day a week to weigh. Weighing everyday will just bring you down. My doc told me not to even own a scale! (ofcourse I do) lol... But womens weight changes daily you are heavier before during and after your period. If you eat somethin with alot of salt one night you may retain Water the next day so you really cant judge yourself off that. If your eating right and exercising like you should just keep it up!

      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.
