This time last year, I was absolutely miserable :-( It was summertime & I was feeling SO fat, especially when it came to a bathing suit. A size 14 was really, really tight on me. I'm 2.5 months post-op now & wore a size 10 this week :-D It is the little things in life now that make me smile & I realize I CAN DO THIS!!!

I am seeing all my summer clothes of last year don't fit at all. I have tried some on and it looks like I am wearing some else's clothes. It is great losing 70 lbs will do that. I do have to admit I am sad the cute clothes I can wear but baggy clothes aren't my look anymore. I have buy a few new clothes but not too many because I am going to be losing more and not staying at this size. The other difference is I notice I hold my head up higher and I am glad to be noticed nit to just blend in. I am loving my journey! Thank you lap band.

      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.
