So I was feeling kind of sad...being broke this X-mas. I spent all my money on the band and I usually am not that selfish. I go and see my family in Texas or I take my Hubby on trips. So I am looking through the old pics and I realize... like a flashlight going on. I was not selfish. I can walk now without worring about my knee. I can climb stairs without loosing my breath. I have become a better me for my hubbie. So now I am not so sad. I am infact quite glad I am broke this xmas. ....but next year I am taking the new me in the new bikini I plan to be able to fit back to the sun and fun of the carribean. I hope everyone had a wonderful X-mas and a safe and happy new year...remember be good to your band...

Rica,

You hot mamma! You and your man look like fashion models! Wow, what a beautiful couple! Keep up the good work and save the money for the Carribean next year! You made a wise decision to go with the lapband. Health is much more important than any other gift.

      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.
