Leona06, In your signature you have 270/204!!!/135, is my interpretation that you have gone from 270 down to 135 correct??? If so, WOW and MAJOR Congrats are in order. Please tell me what you did. I am not banded yet, however, I am STRONGLY considering it. Do you think choosing the RIGHT Dr. plays an important role in this type of success? You are truely an inspiration. How long did it take you to reach that 204 and then 135 weight? I am almost 280 at 5'3' and would love to have the same results. What didn't you like the most after surgery? How are you managing to maintain? I go to a seminar on this Saturday. I'm compiling a list of questions to ask; do you have any important ones that are a must ask? Thanks!

      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.
