Nice to hear Juli. You will have to let us know what happens. I am still very large busted, but seriously there is no fullness and the girls, well to say they have gone south would be close. They are more like flippers :)

I would love you get reduction/lift but not sure of qualification now. A few years ago I was too fat according to insurance company.

Good luck!

Hey Ashley, I do know I can definitely eat more now, I sometimes long for that "I can only eat 2tbs" feeling. But overall realize I am within 30 lbs of goal. Weight watchers would have me weighing 145 but I am not sure that is realistic for me. How tall are you? How have you slowed? I am thinking I may need to go and do Diva's bootcamp.

Juli, can't wait to hear how it goes, keep us posted!

Hey Banana Babes,

Its good to hear everyone is doing great at this stage in the game. My doctor said unfortunately after 6 months the 'golden period' for weight loss tends to slow down considerably. I have definitely felt the effects of it and haven't really lost as quickly as before. But i haven't let it get me down, it just means its time to kick the exercise and strength training into overdrive. It's hard to believe i'm so close to my initial goal but i don't plan to stop there. Then it will be a whole new adventure of being in the promised onederland! Best wishes and love to all the banana babers, keep up the good fight!

      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.
