Oh how I miss compliments... One thing I know is when I start getting compliments I am losing weight even though others don't know yet what is going on with me.... That is not the case today... Was just sitting here thinking...its been a very long time since I have gotten any compliments

:(

Did you see your surgeon about emptying your band due to all of the heartburn you have been experiencing? Did you discuss gallbladder? Are you making any progress on your pre-op diet.

Going to see my surgeon tomorrow to empty the band... Then to see my other dr and dietitian on the diet follow up. On my scale at home I did lose couple of lbs, so I am hoping it won't show gain on their scale. 2 more months to go until insurance submittal... Can't wait!

Haven't had another gallbladder attack this week yet but after I eat meat it lets me know it's there... Does that makes sense? Weird... I will update how things go tomorrow afternoon with the Docs. Thank you for the support!

1. My band is now empty

I have a follow up in 6 weeks to see if I will still be having issues with gallbladder, then will do further testing.

2. Supervised diet follow up went well. I lost 5.2lbs since December 15th, glad there was no gain:)

Can't wait till march 18 to when I will be done with this diet and should have my paperwork being submitted to insurance.

      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.
