Hi, you've the surgery done right? Are you willing to mentor someone? I am getting my surgery done on the fourth of June and I would love it if I could have someone help me with my weight loss process?

With you finding your someone who loves you regardless of your size is a wonderful thing. My bf is a skinny dude and I'm a big girl but he still loves me for me, he said I'm perfect at the size I am but yeah that's good to know that he thinks that but I want to be perfect at a smaller healthy size:

Hi Lauren, I live in Oceanside. My surgeon was dr. Garber. Its going well so far. I just have pain in my belly near the incision. It's just hard to go from siting to standing and laying to standing. I am feeling like I am getting back to normal which is good. Hopefully I'll be great in a couple days. How are u doing?

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to the band :) I'm from port Jeff station, 31, and was banded by Dr. Gabriel back in July 2010. I have recently just switched to Dr. Aurora Pryor though (who i love) for my band care. I've been very happy with my band so far, down 90lbs, 30lbs away from goal. I'm actually interested now in cosmetic surgery and wondering if anyone local here has had any and if so what has your experience been? Who was your doctor? Etc. I'm really excited to meet people local to me that can relate to what I'm going through with the band :))

      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.
