I second everything that Vera said. You have been through so much in your lifetime and survived with a positive/wonderful/sharing/caring attitude. We both started about the same weight and I also weigh 161 in a size 10 too.

Congrats to you for maintaining the loss. Can't wait to see you again.

HUGS

Happy Anniversary and you are one of my major inspirations when I first started my banding journey. Thanks for all you have given me.

I can't really add anything that the others haven't already stated. You are without a doubt, a huge inspiration. I admire your strength and conviction more than you could know. If I were to lose my band, I can see me being completely negative and wanting to lay blame. I haven't for one second seen you do that. You're such a strong person!

I wish you the best in your journey. You definitely deserve it!

Michelle I can't think of someone more worthy than you for myself to look up to! You are the greatest example of a good bandster and a good "solo" bandster ever!!! I hope to follow in your your foot steps of success with or without a band your doing great!!!!

      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.
