Some of the challenges are part of the groups that are for bandsters who had surgery during the same month. For example, I'm taking part in a St. Patty's Day challenge as part of the September bandsters group.

Me too! I want to be a part of an exercise challenge where we motivate each other to do some form of exercise every day and check in with each other.

Audree, you can join in on the exercise challenge over in the exercise forum. There is a posting called "exercise today" that is where you challenge yourself and record how much activity you have had. Good luck.

If you see a challenge you would like to participate in, make a post to that thread stating you would like to join. Everyone here is very accepting and has the attitude "the more, the merrier". I think some groups have challenges within their own group, but for the most part, everyone is welcome to join any of the challenges.

Good-luck!

      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.
