I have only periodically been reading the boards lately - and was away on vacation for a few weeks, so I missed this post.

You look fantastic! I did just recently respond to another post acknowledging your 100 pound loss. That's quite a great milestone! Congratulations.

In looking back at some of the posts I missed, I also see that you and I continue to share so many similarities. Your posts about a possible slipped band and your doctor's reactions to a slightly enlarged pouch are exactly what happened to me. (After an upper GI and endoscopy, I had an unfill which relieved all my symptoms and just this week I had a new fill to start over). It's also interesting that both my brother and my best friend have birthdays on 11/22!!!! What a coincidence.

Anyway - you look great and are doing great.

Hope that 2005 goes smoothly and successfully for you - and for me.

Mary

Let me just tell ya!! You look amazing !!! I was banded 7-6-04 I feel like the weight is coming off real slow. 44 pounds down as of today. An accomplishment at that, however the scales aren't changing much lately. Do you have any advice. Do I need to start excercising? lol I must admit, I'm always making excuses not to. Anyway, keep up the good work.

      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.
