Four months ago today I was in Swedish Hospital in Seattle and had my band installed. Have lost 44 pounds since then along with 16 pre op for a total of 60. Awesome. Went clothes shopping in my closet yesterday and have bags of stuff to give to Goodwill tomorrow. Thanks Swedish, love ya.

Best of luck. As far as I am concerned you chose the best. I shopped around a bit and met some I liked but Dr. McMahon and his staff are the best. These support groups are great fun twice a month too.

I agree I love his method and the way the whole staff takes good care of us. I am very happy with my choice and I feel secure that he is a great match for me.

      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.
