I wanted to take a moment and say ((thank you)) to each and everyone who has supported me in this last yr on this forum. The support and friendships that I have made have helped me more than I can say. I still have a ways to go before I can say I am at (goal) but I feel in my heart, I will get there.

It is so nice to have (this forum) to come to read about success and struggles and it is very nice to know one is not alone in this weight journey. We may have different paths but we are in the same bracket. The main goal is to get healthy and live a better quality life.

So if you read this, thank you for being you and for being supportive. It does mean a lot to me.

You are doing so awesome Virginia!! We started this journey pretty much together and we have made such huge strides both physically and mentally. I can see just based on your postings and pictures how more happier and confident you are with your life. You are a beautiful, strong woman and don't you ever forget or lose sight of that!! Thank you for being there for me. :)

Since you are a fan of metal I leave you with this lyric:

'So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trust in who we are

And nothing else matters'

Peace always...

Thanks for sharing, Very nice to have support from your spouse. My wife and I were both banded at the same time and it certainly helps to have someone to share the same goals.

As a newbie, I THANK YOU....your success, and most importantly, honesty and hard work are an inspiration to someone just starting out on this "wild ride". I've already learned so much in just a short time being on this forum....from reading successes (and sometimes struggles) from great people like you! :rolleyes:

      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.
