I have been very blessed! I'm already down 39 pounds since surgery! I still have a long way to but am very glad I can come on here and get support when I need it. If it wasn't from the support and reading a lot of everyone's stories I don't think I would have ever made this journey but I'm glad I did!!

You look awesome and are doing wonderful! You can really tell especially in your face from the hospital picture to the pic in the mirror. Are you exercising or anything like that or just eating the right way?

Thank you very much! Really haven't done any exercising, I really need to start. I have just been eating a lot less especially since my first fill it was a dramatic difference. My two year old can eat more than me. Lol. The only thing is some days I can go without eating all day and I have to remind myself to try and eat something because I just really no longer get hungry.

Yeah that's what will happen to me sometimes lol i can go a whole day without eating and I have to make myself eat. Everyone had to get use to how I ate because they wanted to pile food on at BBQs and stuff and I would have to let them know I can't even eat half of what they eat lol. Now most everyone understands. Yeah my nephew can eat more than me and he's 5 haha! I look at people's plates now and think wow I use to eat that much?!? Lol it's amazing how the band works!

      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.
