I everyone,

Love this site! I can't believe how much information is available.

I was banded on 01/31/07 and life has been very good. I had a very easy surgery and recovery was easy. I was doing wash the very next day :think.

I love reading everyone posts and I would like to know how people get the pretty scale (i think that is what u call it) at the bottom of the posts showing weight loss????

Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Jane

Hi Jane!!

Welcome to bandland and to LBT!! Come over and say Hi at the NJ thread---there are actually a few from NJ there!!! They welcomed me and several others who are nowhere near Jersey!!! A GREAT group!!!

The scale at the bottom is called a ticker---there is a thread dedicated to putting one on---if you can't find it let me know and I will PM you with a walk through of how to do it.

Once again---welcome!!

Goodluck with surgery. I had no problems. Get moving as soon as possible.

I want to loose 110 pds total. I have lost 20 and have a long way to go.

I found the tickler @ thetickerfactory.com but I am not sure how to put at the bottom of my posts/name.

Good luck.

Jane

The tickers can be created at TickerFactory.com

And yes - there are several of us who live all over the place and congregate in the New Jersey Forum.

Come visit us in the TGIF thread... (Thank God it's February)

Or stop in for the March thread - somebody will start that up tomorrow.

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.
