Hi there KNall

My name is Bonnie and I was banded 3/25/11. I live at Power Road and Queen Creek and would love to chat and be able to encourage each other.

The band was the best thing I ever did. Although my weight lose is slow, 41 lbs so far, I am half way to my goal! You are going to do GREAT and please feel free to keep in touch!

Thanks Bonnie. I'm getting nervous and the more I'm reading the more nervous i'm getting. Like i've read about people losing too fast and having extra skin or people losing slowly which would be discouraging to me. I've also heard of people "eating through the band". Maybe i should stop reading! Thanks so much for replying. We definitely can support each other.

Not to worry at all. All of those things can be true but everyone is different.

I myself have not made good food choices at times which has contributed to me losing slower than some. I'm going back in for another filll next Monday to just start my losing again.

Please keep me posted on your surgery. You will do great!!!!!

My email is bcampbell29@cox.net.

Talk to you soon. :D

      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.
