Hi All,

Just a quick note to say i have read many of your posts and wonder why I have not used them to gather more info.

I was banded April 2006 and have so far lost 18kg still 18 to go but with your support I know i am not alone out there.

Cheers

Ed:)

HI

Im from Hobart. Where are you from? I am soooooooooooo excited that I feel so good. My arthritis is better and my dog is even benefiting from walking every night.

Need to be careful with what I eat as my kids are thinking that as soon as i put something in my mouth I am going to throw up.

Glad to be talking to others. I hope we can share ideas and milestones.

I luv the pictures and scale lines people have put at the end of their names>. Haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Cheers

Ed

      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.
