Down 8.6 lbs from last visit 4wks ago and 36 lbs since 2 wks before surgery. Woohoo!

Dr put in 3cc in my empty band and said most times green zone is between 4 cc & 7.5cc.

He said," You are doing very well with the weight loss and I know it's more you then the band". "Pretty soon, the band will do more for you"." Only liquids for 24hrs".

He also said for me to listen to my shoulder pain and stop eating, when it hurts.

Cheryl, you were right about the nerve thing. I knew you were all along, but having my Dr confirm it just makes it even better.

As well as she's doing, she might never need one! If she does, we can go hold her hand or slap the crap out of her, whatever it takes!

      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.
