several ppl have asked me how things are going. tomorrow will be my last day of liquids. I have lost 6 lbs total. I have had no reflux or spasms since the Fluid was taken from the band. I didn't cheat although it was hard, really hard. Wednesday when I start soft foods I know it's going to be even harder. I will be eating as if my band is restrictive. I know I will be hungry all the time. but my desire for my life with the band is stronger than my desire for food. thanks to all of you that have sent me get well wishes. it really helps having all of you that understand what I am talking about. my poor husband tries but he is just do it type of guy and doesn't get the emotional side of things. but he is very supportive and tries really hard to see how hard all this is. best to all, take care of your band.

      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.
