Okay, I remember seeing a March goals, but we seemed to have skipped that for April so I am bringing it back for May.

I will start with mine.

- Clean up my diet, I have not been too good lately

- Work out AT LEAST 3 days a week and strive for 4 or 5

- Get my weight down to 285lbs or my body fat down to 35%.

I may add others as I think of them, but I need to get these out there to refocus myself.

Canadian banders feel free to post your May goals here for all the world to see.

Well, since I am newly banded, I think I will try to stay with the post-op diet as best as I can. To be honest, I am going to my cottage for about a week this Thursday and I thought I might try a little popcorn. I'm on full fluids. Is that suicidal or what?

NO NO NO

May Goal - stick to the rest of my post-op diet till the end of may.

Donna - don't do the popcorn yet! You haven't even started mushies! I was rereading my post op diet materials last night and they keep stressing how important it is NOT to push. You don't want to risk hurting yourself or the band and I understand that popcorn may not be the easiest food. Please don't do it!

mmmm I think my goal will be to just keep on doing what I am doing and not to go too crazy when I go out for dinner before I start my pre-op. I am going to allow myself a few days of the last supper phase, I have to say though I am kinda not all that excited about it right now... lol Am I sick??? Or have I started to think more wisely. lol hmmm guess I will find out soon enough! Would be nice to drop another 10 pounds this month... guess I will try for that!

10 pounds gone before crossing to the banded side.

-=crosses fingers, toes, legs, arms, eyes.... =-

LOL!! 10 lbs is amazing! I would suggest not to go overboard, but allow yourself a couple of treats, so you won't panic before the Optifast.< /p>

      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.
