Conratulations, Areellady!!!

I, too, have feared the booth... and lawn chairs... and bathroom stalls... and seat belts in friends' cars... and lots of other things, but no more!

You know, after having my son, I was able to use him as my excuse (instead of having to tell the hostess or waiter that I simply wouldn't fit) since they usually put child seats at tables, not in booths. How pathetic of me.

But no more! I was banded 6 months ago, and as of this morning (on my scale) I am down exactly 85 pounds. I still don't believe it is working so well, and I still have a ways to go: I was 315 on New Years Day 2007, my end goal is 160 - so I still have 70 to go (even though I can't get my ticker below to cooperate with these numbers). My hope is to lose the remaining 70 pounds in the next year - and I WILL DO IT!!!!

and I'll be thinking of you next time I get seating in a BOOTH!

      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.
