Best Birthday ever.



Recommended Posts

Yes it was, Yesterday.

I,m married to the love of my life.

I have a very cute 19 month old son ( a mini me )

I,m still alive ( i,m a very clumbsy electrician )

And best of all for the first time i can remember i am thin (ish ) for more than a month.

Thank god or some body for the lap band. I know the band is new and hasn,t really done much yet BUT i,m still very motivated.

I know this dosent make too much sense , But i am happy.

Happy Belated Birthday Mark,

and horray for you and the band is wonderful isn't it.

mysherrijo, it seems we were banded around the same time, I on 7-5-06, you on the 10th, and we have lost exactly the same amount. I enjoy seeing others in my range, it makes me feel really good to see I am not slow, fast or at a standstill. I am just like someone else and that is a good thing. I will watch your progress as a challenge to keep up ,as I feel we have done really well with this silicon belly hoola hoop.

      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.
