Hey there everyone.....glad to see some names I recognize from spotlight....This could turn out to be another great source of banding info...hope everyone participates and thanks to alex for putting it together...

Now...I am Melinda, banded 6-20-03. Ive always struggled with weight as have my mother and my sister. JennyB, who some of you know, is my sister and she was banded in November and is now 6 months pregnant. We are so happy for her because she had been trying for a while and was worrying she wouldnt be able to have kids. Thinks the weight loss may have helped. I was on the road to rny, and changed my mind a week before surgery. I love my band and cant wait for another year to go by and see my results. Ive lost 18.5 so far and am scheduled for fill on 30th.

I wish the best to all who are in search of taking control of their bodies, no matter which surgery or other option is choosen.

We can do it....and this is the first time I really have believed that!!

Best of luck to us all...

Melinda

PLEASE READ

Something is wrong with my LBT. I can't get to page 18 of this thread. When I click on page 18 it takes me to a completely different post, which is strange since I can get to page 19. Can anyone get to page 18?

Also, I apologize for changing the rules to "must weigh in on Monday." I didn't think it through when I started the challenge, but like Margo mentioned, it was too hard making heads or tails of all the posts.

If anyone can get to page 18, are there updates that I need to change? I'll have to report the problem to Alex.

      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.
