newly banded

Welcome home !!! are both newly bands..I was banded 11/11...It's pretty surreal but I'm taking advantage of this liquid phase. I think it will provide the quickest weight loss opportunity and I do realize that we have to be carefrul, stay hydrated and get some calories in....So far ..so good...Glad to hear you are on this ride also...Hopefully, after we get to our goal weight this ride becomes our life and we can just mellow out..I think it will be earlier but I don't mellow easily..Except for a few drinks which will be a long way off...Maybe exercise will fill that void ..You are a great writer so writing will be a good outlet for you...Good luck ..

You crack me up Greg... Well... I'm already half cracked... but never-the-less. ;)

Ryan... so glad you are back safe and sound in bandland! I am still thankful that I had a private room... I was in bed... out of bed... in bed... out of bed... pacing the halls...crazy outta my mind until I got out of that place! I kept feeling like I needed to attend to the beeping IV's and call lights that went off continuously all night long. There really is no place like home! Welcome back!

"No! That Can't Be Shrinking, Too!" NTCBST

What do you think that the day was like when god created man??

"Let man gain weight EVERYWHERE but right there. Let that thing fill with blood, robbing his brain of vital blood and oxygen making him unable to make a decision in that state!!!!!!! ;)

Not bad for only a rib to work with, huh?

Is that what they mean by, I have a bone to pick with you???

      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.
