It sure is good to hear from you, Leatha and Sallyjo. It sounds like both of you have been travelling through a lot, and that much of this has been difficult, painful, and complicated. Though your issues are likely solved with your latest surgery, Leatha, and that is terrific news, you, Sallyjo, still have many difficulties ahead of you. This certainly is sad news. I do hope that your daughter is able to get that healthy liver ASAP. Please keep us in the loop, eh. That means both of you....!

leathea g: What a moving testimonial! I am so glad that you wrote and told us where you are on your road to good health!

You've been through some really tough stuff and I really admire the fact that you have stuck by your guns and are fighting to get where you want to be. It can't have been an easy road and it must take quite a lot of determination. Most people might have just given up and given in. You're a strong woman and you deserve to be recognized for being such a pillar of strength - no matter what.

I know you and I disagreed a couple of threads, but I always respected your input, and I want you to know that I missed you too and that I am really glad that you came back to let us know how you are. Best wishes for the fantastic success that you definitely deserve!

sallyjo: Congratulations on your very successful banding and subsequent weight loss! Sorry to hear you had to have the gallbladder surgery, but it was probably really nice to have someone check on the band and find it in good shape.

I am sorry about your daughter's need for a new liver. We will sure keep you and her in our prayers.

Leatha, it was so awesome running across your posts. I too have missed you and so many of the 2004-2005 bandsters.

Thank you so very much for sharing your story, the loss of the band is one of my biggest fears.

Hugs to you dear lady, please drop in from time to time, I know I'm not alone in saying, I care.

      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.
