Hello, I'm patiently waiting for my band. I have now started the sugar buster diet. I'm on vacation and can't eat what I want....who cares????...lol....I'm excited. I see my doctor on the ninth and hope to have my surgery on April 19. Just a little nervous, but ready for the new me. I only want to lose between 50-60 lbs. is there anyone out there that only needed to lose the same? Please let me hear from you.

Hi sistercin. 55-60 lbs. is my goal. Banded 3/11/13 n down 20 lbs. so far. No band restriction yet but really trying to establish better n healthier eating choices. Always been around 285-300 since high school in late 70's. 3/11 was at 287 now 267. People tell me my face looks thinner but myself I dont notice much differance anywhere else....yet. GOOD LUCK in your future success. :)

I hope you continue to post your progress. It's very encouraging. If you don't mind me asking, how was your post op?...down time, pain, gas, nausea, eating, etc.???

You sound like its been going pretty well. I'm sure each day gets easier. Your doing great. Keep sending encouragement. Thanks!!!...distercin

      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.
