Thanks! Today I woke up extremely nervous. I can't believe how fast time flys. I'm super hungry and the Protein shakes with on meal is not cutting it. How can I make my shakes more filling?

New to the site and just made the decision to be banded. Getting full support from my family and friends and am doing as much research ad possible. I go for my information seminar on Dec 19th. My goal is to lose 115 pounds and run a full marathon! Excited to meet new friends here and find out what works and what doesnt when it comes to eating.

Im new to this site, but I have been banded since Jan. 13 2010. Not much success. I only have 4.5cc in. I have been up to 6cc and could not tolerate it. Im a bit discouraged

Gigi, I will run the marathon with you! You pick where and I'm coming! I've been looking for someone who will run one with me! Only thing is, I'm an accountant so I can't run one in feb-may.

I was banded 10/5. I was training last year for NWM 2011 when I hurt my back. Have to get under 200 to start running again. I absolutely love it though!

      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.
