I am due to be banded September 28th in Dallas. I am so looking forward to feeling well again. I have Diabetes and I am hoping to have lots of energy again. Are any of you feeling better now that you have lost some weight?

Hello all, I am a September Bander too. Sept 6th, Dr Michael Storey, Pasedena TX.

You guys have to tell me how to put the tape measure on my reply to see how much weight I have lost and what my goal is. I lost 9 lbs pre op and I want to lose 125 total.

Hi All! Have just joined this site and having my surgery this week 13 Sept in Australia. So far Optifast is going well and am down from 120.4kg to 115.2kg so am feeling great about that. But still have moments of panic about the surgery... anyone else feel the same?

Missy,

I went to Ticker.com and created the ticker, but I can't seem to get it from there to place anywhere else. Can you help me?

Had my surgery on 9/4. Everything went great. No problems. Day 1 and 2 were the hardest and it wasn't that bad. By day 4 I was out walking and even drove(not supposed to until tomorrow) and walked around Walmart. Its been cake so far. I hope everyone's surgery goes as well as mine. I lost 13 lbs pre-op and just weighed this morning and I have lost almost 4 more. Good luck to everyone here! If you have ANY questions feel free to msg me!

You need to copy the ticker and paste it under your signature, maybe I am missing a step, anyone have any better suggestions??? Sorry, I don't know why it didn't work?:) There should be a code you have to copy. I had my surgery on the 6th. I am doing pretty good, was able to get up and walk around right after. I am already ready for this clear liquid phase to be over with, but, so far good!

      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.
