Hello, this is my first post. I was banded on 9/14/2007. I couldn't have asked for a better surgery, and recovery. So far I my start weight was 252.2 and now i'm 237.0. I'm really glad that I found this support group to ask questions, as there isn't a support group in the central valley that I have heard of yet and I'm feeling a little bit on my own. Any insight would be great. Any advice would be better.

Thanks

Liz

Welcome,

You should try the chat I love to chat with the other here. I am in the central valley California too and the only support group I found meets on Tuesday night in Turlock. I am sure that there is other but I haven't looked because it is easier to chat with my support group here. sounds like you are doing a great job losing your weight.

Bye for now

      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.
