Hi,

I just wrote the following to caseyp and these comments apply to you as well. Would like to keep in touch because I get my surgery on Aug 6th.

Congrats on your pre weight loss. I am happy you have decided to get the surgery. I have lost 25-30 easily in the past many times and regained it again. Maybe we can keep in touch since we are going in around the same time. I started at 282 and am now today 259 on my second day of clear liquid diet and completed 10 of only Protein Shakes. I have lost a total of 22lbs. I am very excited and I am getting my Hiatial Hernia fixed as well. During my journey they discovered my Hiatial Hernia and sleep apnea. I found out that sleep apnea can contribute to weight gain because your body is tired and you snack to compensate for that. Maybe that is why I have not been able to stay on the diet long enougt to reach my goal along with stress and lives other events. I have been so excited about my journey that I hae purchased some things to help me along the way after the surgery and the these things I have been using now to keep me on my pre diet. I found an intelligent Water bottle that keeps track of your intake and it has a straw that does not let air in your stomach "Hydracoach.com" 2 different plates with covers that help with measuring your food consumption. They are BariBowl at "bariware.com" and EZ Weigh Plate at "store.ezweightplatestore.com". The BariBowl is a tubberware type which is good for taking your lunch because it has 2 side that separate for hot and cold food so you can heat your food separately. On each side there are demarcations marks where you can slide these little plastic thin sleeves in to separate and measure 1oz sections and the whole bowl is 8 oz. A baratric surgeon invented it. It makes you feel/loo like you are eating a lot, but is not deep at all. The other is a plate with cup like compartments that you can measure your food because the plate is totally semi-transparent and is also microwave saft. This I would use at home and especially when my husband cooks it will make it easier for him as well, he likes to cook and likes to make me a plate.

Good luck and stay excited. I feel I am no longer alone on this journey now that I will have my band.
