I JUST LOVE NEWBIES! IT BRINGS BACK THAT FEELING WE ALL HAD AT ONCE PRIOR TO OUR SURGERIES! I think it really helps hearing the stories and journies of newbies. It sort of brings us back to that major rush of how life changing it is. I am getting the band removed and getting sleeve on May 1st so hearing your excitement helps me a lot. I am having it removed because I have a leak and my body does like the port. I don't want to scare you. Nothing bad happened. Its just a personal decision I made. Plus I will find it less costly in the future from the fills. Everyone is different and I am sure you will do great! I love your count down...think I will go make my chart too. A time chart and a weight loss chart. I put a big WL chart on the back of my bedroom door. Just for me eyes only. You will be so thankful you had it. First day or two your sore, especially where the port is at. That is normal, I found walking right away helped a lot in my healing process. Yes, there were days I didn't want to get up, but that's what the meds are for. Use them if you need them to get up and walk. Keep us posted, I am excited for you..Welcome.

I love the idea on a weight loss chart! Gonna go make one up and and measurements for inches. Might even put today's clothing size and as it gets smaller.

I need that motivation to remind me to move it! Thanks Hoover!

      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.
