Thanks guys. :) (why do these smilies come out blue? V.Odd!) I'm a member of another forum and one of the other members is a genius who put a weight loss resource together. The tickers are part of that. It's a nice little community (Hi Tazza!) and most of us, but not all were banded by the same doctor.

It's at Gastric band surgery :: Index if you want to join us. New blood is always welcome.

Where is everyone from here? I'm from Cambridgeshire.

No. Absolutely not. Everyone is welcome. There are a few people done (terible term sorry) elsewhere, but not enough, so come along! It's really handy to have other peoples experiences. xxx

Thank you Mrs D. Wow, look at what you've achieved. Well done, what an inspiration. I'm very sorry you've had problems though. Damned MRSA, it's an epidemic here isn't it? Is it just the UK with this problem? Are you managing to keep it off? Sorry for the barrage there, I'll get me coat!

      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.
