Today is my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of having this beautiful piece of plastic placed in me...... What a difference a year makes:

I'm at the gym SIX DAYS A WEEK !!!!!

My elliptical and I have a SIXTY-FIVE MINUTE affair every day !!!!!!

I eat like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!

I LOOK like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!

My BLOOD PRESSURE has been in the 107/72 range whenever taken !!!!!!!

My SOCIAL LIFE is phenomenal !!!!!!!!!

I wear a size 12 pant, a size 12 dress, and a Large shirt !!!!!!

I buttoned and zippered my daughter's high school uniform skirt that she wore five years ago (cleaning out her closet after she moved out last month and I couldn't resist trying it on)!!!!!!!

I weigh less than I did on my wedding day 26 years ago !!!!!

I had the added pleasure of watching my husband become a HEALTHYNEW ME...... He's lost 60 pounds and is at the gym six days a week too!!!!!!

I've met so many wonderful people on this forum...... I had the pleasure on meeting in person GoWalking and LisaCaron and I have spoken on the phone with Rebeccaabrooks86.

Can you tell that I'm in love with my 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.
