LeslieLee you are truly an inspiration and I want to thank you for helping to motivate so many people.

My goal for July was to not spend any more money on new clothes... and I broke that the other day when I found $9 pants at WALMART!!! LOL, being able to shop somewhere other than Penningtons feels great... too great... I am worried about the clothes shopping addiction that I believe is nearing...!

Goal #1 for August: NO MORE NEW CLOTHES!!!!

Goal #2: Don't break goal #1

Goal #3: Start exercising more

Hi there Everybody!

Well I am back and feeling pretty good after about a month of holidays! I have gain about 4 onces but I am Ok with that. I won't make my goals this time round but I am really happy that after all that time of being away from home and having company and my husband home and our son leaving home for the army I didn't gain 2o!! And that is not a joke I could gain that much with all that going on!!

Soooo here is to getting going again! Back on track and making good choices!

I did have a chance to see Dr. Cobourn while I was in Ontario and I had another fill which bring me to just over 6cc. Apparently there were a few extras that Tammy found hiding in there lol What a difference that fill made. I am not feeling as restricted now so will be having another on the 23rd. I know it is close!

This is where it will start to be tricky, finding that sweet spot and not going over and having to be defilled. I am really hoping that this will be the one. I felt kind of like a weirdo for having such much in my band and not being at the right amount of restriction but as they say "Everyone of us is different." Now I am seeing once again how true that is!

So on we go!! Glad to be back and nice to know I was missed -=winks=-

To all the newly banded and about to be... it is an amazing little tool and the most incredible thing we are doing to be healthy and enjoy life as fully as possible!! You won't regret it!!

      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.
