Hello everyone,

My name is Bunny and I am from England.

I was banded on 14th February 2007 by Dr. Dillemans in Brugge, Belgium.

My surgery was elective and I paid for it myself without my doctor knowing as I didnt want him to put me off the idea.

I was 252lbs and have lost 15lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago. :clap2:

I have been overweight for the last 10 years since breaking my leg, tried numerous diets and the last ditch attempt was with Slimmingworld, where I attended meetings for 2 years. I initally lost 30lbs, but it gradually krept up yo-yoing up and down a pound here and there, until I had regained 16lbs of my original loss.

My final straw came when I was making a irish coffee cheesecake.

I made it in line with my diet plan, and put it in the fridge to chill.

When I took the first bite of it, it was so foul and unappetising that i slid down onto the floor and cried for about an hour. It was then that I got on the internet and put the plans that had been at the back of my mind for months into operation.

I was banded 3 weeks later.

My doctor, after delivering the letter about my operation 10 days after the event, was very supportive, and I was so pleased. He told me that I had made a valuable investment in my future, and if I needed anything at all, just let him know.

So thats me. I have been married for 10 years and have an 8 year old son who we home school. We are all adjusting to my new regime as it seems to make an impact on the family as well.

Anyway,

I look forward to getting to know some of you better.

Bunny

      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.
