Hello all,

I just registered for this board. I've been using obesityhelp.com and the folks are terrific.

I was banded on 4/30/04 and have lost 33 pounds thus far. I feel great and have made several friends and received tremendous advice on the other board, so I thought I would give this one a shot.

Just a note to give you all a big Texas HOWDY!

Keith

Hi, Keith, guess you're trying to exercise in these hot Texas evenings, also. Well, maybe we'll lose a few extra lbs. by sweating in this humidity. Where were you banded? Best of luck!

Thanks for the kind welcomes! I was banded by Dr. Hamn. And yes, no doubt this Texas Heat has claimed a bit of my belly!

Welcome Keith! I noticed your username, so may I add Hook 'Em Horns to my greetings? Maybe we can burn off a few calories by yelling and jumping while watching the College World Series this afternoon on the TV! Just no snacking! :)

      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.
