Well, I'm just throwing this out there. I wish more people would post their before and after pictures even if you aren't very far along. I'm not proud of how I look right now but let's be real, I got myself here and it's up to me to get myself healthier. I am still pre-surgery but I am vowing right now to post an updated photo of me every month even if I haven't changed much. Who else is up for the challenge?

Thank u Concept and Cristy!

I pretty much follow the band rules 98% of the time! Lol

I just had an unfill actually b/c I was getting reflux and getting stuck w/anything.

I have about 5CC in my band, and can eat anything. I bought little 1/2 cup containers to bring to work w/me and thats how I measure my food. I probably should exercise though yo tone up! That's my downfall.

Well...., let's share some before and after pics!! I would love to see this thread grow!

      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.
