Hi Everyone,

I was banded March 22 in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. I am so excited to start on this journey to lose weight. Start weight 247. Lost 12 lbs before the surgery, have lost another 8 since. i am starting to get hungry, can't wait until my first fill. I am really starting to get hungry. I decided to have this surgery as I have a new grandson. I want to be around to watch him grow up. I am glad to meet others who are going thru the same thing.

:clap2:

You are right, I think some of it is head hunger. Its hard when you are cooking for others and smelling the food.

I used to put metholatum under my stallion's nose so he couldn't smell the mares. Maybe that will work for cooking. LOL!

      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.
