Congrats on your banding! :grouphug:

Dr. Averbach banded me - so we'll have to compare notes when you're feeling better!:gossip:

Dr. Averbach banded me too--on January 19, and I have lost nearly 70 lbs. How did you like him? I've had two fills so far. Did he do your first fill in the hospital under fluroscope?

Yes, I do like him. He is very professional and business minded, but he has begun to loosen up more since I've gotten to know him. My first fill was this past Monday in the office, but he told me the next fill would be in the hospital so he could check on things.

Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss. You've been doing so well! You give me such inspiration!

Hey Leona, looks like we've got our own mini club of St. Agnes girls! :grouphug:

Well it has been a long day. Leona arrived at the hospital a little before 9 AM for a 11 AM surgery. They were able to start early and in less time then it took for me to watch a move they were done. She was in her room by 1:30. She is moving around with less pain then I had, for which I am so glad. Well I am tired so I am going to bed.

      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.
