I'm doing good. It takes a little getting used to and getting your head round the fact that it still hard Work from you rather than an easy option (which I think we all think it will be). I hit a plateau in weight loss about 4 weeks ago and was fed up but advice from on here to make sure I have between 1000 and 1100 calories a day with all my Protein and loads of Water WORKED. Back on the losing track. Stopped a bit over Xmas but back in track now x I downloaded MyFitPal on my iphone. It's fantastic. You really know what calories your taking in I'd definitely recommend that. You can add people too I'm mummajuju on there. Add me if you download it. It's handy to look at others food diaries too to get ideas.

Op wise I found it fine. Not even really uncomfortable at all so you'll be fine. I did get hungry after which shocked me as I wasn't expecting that and everyone is different. However it did go off after a few days. I've had my third fill now and just with that one felt restriction. Before that I didn't know I really had a band. It's a funny feeling but I learnt one this. I wasn't chewing nearly enough as I needed before my last fill and I learnt that the hard way lol so when your on your solids chew chew chew!

Anyway just got to do my tea so hopefully talk soon. Feel free to ask me anything if I can help xx good luck xx

      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.
