Hi there - I just stumbled upon this website and thought I'd check it out. I'm from Toronto Canada :canada:and have been banded for almost 4 years. I've lost over 80 lbs but still have another 50+ to go...:help:

I am a mom of 2 kidlets - an 8 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. I teach middle school music :music:and totally love singing. Maybe I just gotta be the "fat lady?" :)

Hello to all and looking forward to meeting you all.

Jane

Welcome Jane. It is nice to have another person who has had the band for a while and know that it is still working. I will be getting mine on March 20 and can't wait. I am sure that you will be bomb-barded (sp) with question about long term banding. We also have a group from Canada here, look under local support.

Once again welcome.

      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.
