Hi Rannah. I used to live in Grand Junction. My family owned the McDonald's that used to be on North Ave across from Wienerschnitzel. Hey, we owned a McDonald's...I'm beginning to sense a connection as to why I needed the band. Hmmm lol

Put me down for - 1.8. I was out of town for a week eating out every meal and stuck in airports for the past 2 days. I think all in all I am very happy with my little loss, better than a gain.

I do feel better about the idea of maintance since I was able to lose this week. I am at my lowest of 194.7 I hope to see the 180's in the next 1-2 weeks.

I am +0.8lbs today, but TOM showed up this weekend so I'm hoping that's the reason. I'm really starting to hate my decision to have the band. Really really really. :blink:

In other news, I know that Munchkin has been AWOL from this thread for quite some time. But, she's flying into town today and staying with me until Thursday. We're going to the Dave Matthews concert on Weds night! I can't wait to meet her finally!!! Perhaps she'll take walks with me this week and get me moving out in the beautiful NC weather!

I am down -2.4 this week. Woohoo!!! Maybe my 6 week long plateau has finally ended! I've lost two weeks in a row.

Jaime, I was just wondering the other night if Munchkin was still coming out to see you. How fun! Give her hugs and kisses from the gang. And you two stay out of trouble . . . yeah, right ;-)

Jamie, Are you keeping track of what you eat on an on-line journal. Is there a way we can see what you are eating and maybe help out?

How is the working out going?

I went to Disneyland and ate like a normal person. +1 for me, but I get my first fill tomorrow. I think the only reason I didn't gain more is because of all the walking I did.

Hi everyone, I am getting banded on Wed. by Dr. K. I am nervous but excited. It sounds like everyone has had great results and that he is a great surgeon.

Hey Peeps!

Dr. K is going to China for three weeks starting the middle of May. They will only be doing fills on Thursdays with Tom. If you think you might need a fill around that time, you better call and make an appt. I think those Thurs. are going to get pretty busy!

      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.
