I'm in Western ky, Hopkinsville, too far away for a workout buddy, and not doing that much myself due to a bad knee but wanted to wish you good luck with your surgery.

Not sad at all, smart! Our "normal" friends can be very supportive, but still don't understand band life. I know one banded person in my regular live, she lives about 90 miles away. I speak with her on the phone sometimes (she is a co-worker in another office). It is great to have people in the same situation in your real life!

My BFF doesn't have a weight problem, she is very cognizant about her diet. She is also my biggest cheerleader and supporter. She's learned a lot about being banded by being my friend. I love that my BFF is so supportive, but having someone banded to talk with is awesome!!

      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.
