Hi Hope. We were all new at one time. We are a great bunch of people who all started off in the same boat. I look forward to meeting you there.

Hope please do come - I have only been banded about 6 weeks and am anxious to lose this weight - I am slowly getting filled and talking to Lori and Donna is wonderful support. We won't be hard to miss - the laughter will give us away.

Hi

Well I'm 2 weeks pre-op and I feel pretty darn good. I'm down 20lbs :clap2:and I feel really good. I was a little grumpy:mad: on Thursday night but I got over it. I'm very excited about Friday coming up. I'm doing a big Thanksgiving meal as I have 6 children and they are all coming home plus my parents so that should be interesting. Then Tuesday is my birthday. I think I am giving my self the best present ever, my life .

Question :help:is it normal to think look I'm losing weight do I really need to do this?I find myself thinking this, but in the same time I haven't been able to do it so far so why do I think I could do it now. Also i keep thinking what if I'm the one person this doesn't work on? Is it normal to have these last few thoughts??? Any way I'm looking forward to meeting you all on the 28th.

Happy Thanksgiving:hungry: everyone!

Hi Hope

It is perfectly normal to think that you can do this, i asked the same question of myself, why can't i stay on the Optifast instead of having to pay all this money for surgery. My husband said you could but would you keep the weight off, and we all know the answer to that question.

The band will be succussful for you just as is was for all of us. :woot:

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone ;)

Maria :woot:

Jurema ~ Port Hope in east on the 401 past Newcastle. The exit is number 464. Then go north it is just over the bridge. You can actually see it from the 401 exit. I really hope you'll come cuz I would love to see you again~

Hope ~ I remember wondering if I would ever eat a hamburger again and many other things. I think all of us bandster know how to and can lose weight. Our problem is keeping it off. We have all lost weight and put it and more back on. This should put an end to that for all of us. Looking forward to meeting 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.
