Hard to believe that I have had my band for 6 weeks now. I went to see my surgeon yesterday and to weigh in... I lost 10 more pounds for a total of 36 pounds in 6 weeks !! I am so pleased !!! And so was he !!! For once in my life I really feel as if I am gonna get my weight under control... well with the help of my new best friend.. bandette !!! I have not had a fill yet, and won't until I slow down with the weight loss. I told the dr. that I had thrown up once, from not chewing my food well enough. I also added that I was sorta glad I did. Even though the pain in my chest was the worst I have ever felt....throwing up made me know for sure he had put the band in me... lol... he laughed. I feel so good, much better then I have in several years. The journey will be long, but I am thinking it's the best "trip" I've ever been on !!

      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.
