Hi there, I'm a 28-year-old female living and working in Boston and was banded just under two weeks ago. I would love to get to know some other local bandsters, share experiences, support eachother and maybe eventually meet up. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Rosa, I actually lost 20 before surgery, and 14 since surgery. 34 in two weeks would be delicious..but maybe a bit scarey :D Anyway good luck to you on your upcoming surgery date, keep us posted.

Felicia, congrats on the big loss, that is so great! I'm very jealous that you are on solids. I'm still on the liquid diet, until Thursday when I meet with my Doc and move on to mushies. mmmmm mushies ;)

keep in touch

      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.
