Hello,

I have to ask, where did you come up with that name. Really caught my attention. Yes, you did come to the right place I bet there isn't anything you can ask that someone on here doesn't have the answer too.

Keep us informed and read read read and welcome.

I came up with that name because I am a truckdriver and I put the miles behind me hence killing the hiway. Corny I guess but it works thanks for the welcome.:)

Very cute name. Welcome again. If you have any questions, ask on. I've been banded since July 10, of this year. I don't have the fastest weight loss on here but it has been fairly steady until this week until I decided I would eat a damn recess Peanut Butter cup then went down hill from there. I down about 50 pounds in 3 months but after this week who knows, I have really screwed up this week.

Hi and welcome to LBT! As already mentioned, you will probably be able to find answers to most of your questions here at our wonderful board. When you have a moment, read the stickies at the top of each forum. They are loaded with valuable information that I am sure you will find helpful. There is also a forum specifically related to insurance that I am sure you will also find helpful.

      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.
