Hi Everyone,

Trying to get through the 100's of emails both bandster and business related!! I seemed to have missed out on a whole lot of activity here.! Well, I defintely need a fill and plan to go and get one. My eating this last week has been out of control and I put on 4 pounds. I am sure that some of this is Water retention, since my rings on my fingers are struggling to come off. Its really hard being on a road trip. I resorted to eating pistachios in the car the whole ride there as well as tortilla chips and other assorted junk food. And lets not even talk about Thanksgiving. I ate my way through a buffet table that had everything from crabs legs, turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, prime rib, ham, shrimp etc. And the dessert table had slabs of cake like chocolate, key lime, cheesecake that could easily feed a small family with one slice. So yes, I am sick of food and glad to be home where I can easily control my portions til I get a much needed fill. I will be drinking gallons of water over the next few days to flush out all the food toxins in my body!!! LOL I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and now back to the business of losing weight....

I'm here with ya, Babs. I keep putting the same 6 pounds on. My official weigh in date is right around the corner, and I may actually have a gain for the first time. Hell's bells, why does it have to be so difficult!

      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.
