Not quite sure where you want to put your pictures but try quick links and select edit signature .

Hope helps

I am also being banded on Oct 25 and Im scared and nervous. Im 41 but Im ready to be thin and healthy.

Hi lblack66

Being nervous is okay. I think we have all been there. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing this and how great you will feel.

Keep us posted on how you are going and feel free to ask any questions we have all been there or are going through it. You are not alone

Take care

I was banded on September 29 and am doing pretty well. I go in for my first fill on November 1. I am starting to have some hunger again but have been sticking to my diet and losing weight. I have been working out three days a week and am increasing to five this week. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Hestie

Great to hear you are doing well. I understand that sense of hunger as was starting to experience that just before I had my fill. I thought it was due to the fact that I was off the mushies and liquids and was starting to eat solids but my Doc told me that was a sign of needing a fill.

I want to get back to the gym but have been told to wait for a couple more weeks. I played squash the other week and it felt so god I could actually run a little faster to the ball and in my first game beat a friend for the first time ever. mind you second game he came back and thrashed me.

Keep us posted and let us know how the fill went

Take care

Jane

Hi! It was really great reading all of your posts! I am in the process of getting clearance to be banded. My husband is having his done on Monday! I am 45 and started gaining a lot of weight between the birth of my 2nd and 3rd child (17 months apart). I was 220 pounds 6 years ago and am now 250. I have never had a weight problem until this last pregancy (the most I weighed was 135) so I am looking forward to be able to enjoy my children and actually go on a bike ride with them!!! Your notes are very inspirational - my husband is very excited as he too gained the weight the same time I did - so we are in this together!

      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.
