Good talking to you yesterday. AS I said the surgery was a breeze. No problems at all. However girls the GAS is murder. I am now feeling a little just a little tenderness on the incision site. But once I get this gas out of me things should be fine. I was not hungry at all yesterday. I had to latterly make my self take a spoon of pudding (sugar free) and I could have tuna on Water with light Mayonnaise which I only could take a couple of spoons. this morning im getting up moving around to try to get this gas to moving and make some oatmeal which I know I am only going to be able to eat a few spoons but hey that's all good to me lol

I just feel this burst of energy that I want to me moving ALL THE TIME ! ! That's great isn't it? SO how is everyone doing? What about my buddies that was banded early when the group started. How are you all doing?

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA but I've been trying hard to keep busy. I do feel more energetic! And Cassandra, that's awesome that you're banded and doing well! I'm so jealous you got such an awesome diet compared to the one Hollis gave me, lol. Pre-op though I lost 25 pounds and post op, I've lost 22 pounds so far. I went to True Results today to get my first fill and everyone was so happy for me because I had lost more weight than they had predicted. I'd love to meet up with you girls at the end of July the only problem is, I'll be out of town the week of July 22-26. Let me know when!

Hi Ladies,

It's been great reading your posts. It helps knowing what to expect. Finally have my surgery date - August 8th. Could have had it sooner, but going out of town the first 3 weeks of July so no time to do the pre-op diet before then. Now that I have an actual date, it seems more real and I'm getting excited.

Hi ladies hope all is well. I've been doing ok. I had my 1st fill on 6/2 not much restriction and only a 4lb loss since then. I'm hoping my next fill 7/2 will put me in my sweet spot. One think I know I'm defiantly losing inches. I hit the gym atleast 3 times a week. I would love to meet with everyone. I've found that support by those that understand your journey is vital.

WOw 25 lbs during pre op that's great. I was so scared that I was not going to lose enough but they say everyone is different and you lose according to BMI. I go for my first fill July 17th. I can feel hunger coming back now but its not bad. I can drink a slim fast and that usually takes care of it. I have no restriction though because the band has not been tighten yet but I can imagine the results once I have my first fill. We definitely all need to plan to meet at the end of July and also maybe get a group before picture.

Good to hear from you ! ! I notice I am losing inches to. I can really tell when I look in the mirror and my husband and neighbors notice as well. Hey I will take that until the pounds start melting away like they should. I am not exercising yet and I know once I od that's going to help A LOT. I am going to start walking the track at Gene Green Park with friends on Mon and Thursdays and the other days hit my treadmill here at home. I was able to put on some pants today I had that had gotten to tight for my to even pull over my big butt and button. I put them on easy and button with no problem. Down 1 size

      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.
