Congrats to you! You're doing great! And I totally agree with you-best decision ever! In fact, I ran into an old friend at the grocery store today who said she thought she might need to have WLS since I've done so well but she's afraid she won't be successful because she enjoys food too much. I told her "I had the same fear but this was absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself and I can tell you, NOTHING tastes as good as the feeling you get from buying smaller, cuter clothes" I am down 133 lbs and I LOVE my band!!! :-)

Lady at work was discussing her decision for wls with me. I was tempted to tell her all about my journey but I don't want everyone to know. I think I am frightened to fail

      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.
