Hi Ladies!

I'm from Kelowna, BC and was also self pay. Had my surgery Nov 16. I went to Victoria BC for my surgery and paid $15,300 all said and done.

I found the first month to be pretty rough, not so much that I was hungry.. But wound up getting stuck on a piece of egg on my 3rd week and vommited EVERY thing for about a week, spent some time in the ER for dehydration. Now I'm very happy to say I've learnt how to live with my Band and I am down 65lbs with about 40 more to go.

Wishing everyone the best of luck in there journey :-)

I am in Saskatoon' date=' Sk and would love to connect with you ladies!

I just started my pre-op diet on Tuesday (on my 6th day) and I have lost 11.6 pounds ! I am very excited.

I am being banded on February 19th and I am very excited to start this journey in my life. I have been overweight all my life. I have tried ever diet out there only to loose the weight and gain it all back plus more.

I am committed to the band and my new life! I am going to be 50 at the end if this year and it will be my 'reborn' birthday!!!!

Looking forward to sharing , supporting and motivating one another !

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi Lou Lou

I start my pre op diet tomorrow, looking forward to surgery one week from today. Like you I've lost and regained a number of times over the years. Thought might be too old to get this done nice to see others in my age group. If you would like to keep in touch here is my email address info@cybertools.ca we can share this new journey together. Look forward to hearing from you or any other ladies wanting to build friendships!

      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.
