Hi, My name is Jessica. I was banded Jan. 18th 2007. So far I have lost 21 lbs. I just had my first fill March 15th. I also miss my soda, but I got myself addicted to homemade Lipton Ice tea. I keep it unsweetened in the fridge and sweeten in with splenda( I actually use the Great Value Walmart brand) in my glass. I drink it all day and it's 0 cal's. I actually can't stand the taste of actual sugar anymore, lol.

I love the Walmart Grape sf drink.

I feel like making sure I drink my sf liqiuds each day really helped me with my weight loss.

I still miss my diet mt dew. Oh well it is worth it.

Good luck,

edie

Oh my gosh your from Somerset PA too. Where did you have your surgery done at. Im having mine done at Cleveland Clinic I know its far but they are one of the best I heard and anyway I am seeing my Endo up there anyway and she is the one who said that weight loss surgery might really help me and so sh reffered me to the Baratria center in the Cinic. does any one else go there. did you see Dr. Chand or Dr. Shauer (sp?). Its nice to find some one from my town that had this done. We should talk some time. By the way Im Lauren and Im 25 today. Yes today is my birthday. Im having a Angel food cake with strawberries and lite whipped cream. Only one slice. Trying to be good. Any way this is cool. Its nice to meet you.

      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.
