I also found out that since my BMI is 42, I will more than likely only have to have a 1 week preop diet. I will have to purchase the shakes. 1 weeks worth is $75.

We will probably be sleeved around the same time! Melissa told me last week that March surgeries are already booked, so I will be April. The cardiac clearance was not bad at all. I'm so excited for us!

How are you my Fort Worth buddies? I hardly get on here, but belong to the December group on Facebook. I try to come on here a few times a month. I do get the daily digest emails, so if there is a post here - I at least am able to read them.

I have been working out - basically walking but about mid April started doing classes - Love the variety! I have done Zumba Tone, Zumba Step, Zumba Fitness, Kickboxing /Turbo Jam, Pilates and Yoga. Most of those were at the Watauga Rec Center and starting back up at 24hour yesterday and did the Zumba Step - loved it. I am trying either TurboKick or Bodypump tomorrow and Insanity on Sunday Morning, If anyone is interested in meeting up I go to the one on Western Center - Just let me know!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous!!!

Hello! I'm a Fort Worth girl. It's great to see so many of us here. :)

I was banded in 2006 by Dr. Smith. I've been on and off the "band wagon" so many times I can't count. Right now I am 40 pounds heavier than I was on the day of my surgery and I'm miserable. I've been totally unfilled for about a year because i just got so frustrated with my band, but I'm going back in tomorrow for a fill and am going to restart my journey. I've been doing a lot of research on this forum to try to remember how it was in the beginning - how to eat, what to eat, etc.

I appreciate having so many great folks to commiserate with, lean on, cheer for and get advice from.

Good luck and stay strong!

      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.
