Thanks Maria, Loriely and Peaches. I KNOW I'm not drinking enough Water. So has anyone heard anything about artificial sweeteners and if they affect WL? I drink SF Kool-Aid and Crystal Lite every day, a couple of times a day. Do you take in a lot of artificial sweeteners and do you think they make any difference? I hope you're all feeling and doing well!

Buffie: Hi from BC. What does your doctor say. Maybe you have reached what should be the normal weight for a person of your height, bone structure, etc. I used to correspond with a TLBC patient from Saskatoon who worked at the hospital are you that person? Doddie

Hi Doddie, yes I do work at a hospital in S'toon. We corresponded a few times. You're doing GREAT!!!! Congratulations! I spoke at great lengths with my family doc yesterday about what my goal weight should be. She informed me that 160 is not likely going to work for me because of my body structure, she told me that 10 pounds more will be enough. So I'm setting my goal at 175 and if I hit 170 I'll be satisfied. At the rate I'm going now it'll take me 10 years to get there anyway! I went for a .1 cc fill Friday and I'm going for another one next week. I'm just not getting enough restriction at this point. Anyway, how have you been doing Doddie?

Today I haved turned 50. Wow, didn't see that coming. I wasn't really sure how I felt about this milestone but yesterday Kathy at TLBC asked me and I actually thought about it and realized that I am going into this new stage of my life very positively. I feel that good things are ahead. A healthy weight being a major part of that. I know I will only get better. I was so glad she asked me because I hadn't given it much thought.

Thank you everyone. I had a small piece of cake and almost choked to death so I will have to stick to the likes of cheesecake.. It seems to slide down easiest. Just had a birthday lunch and this evening another birthday dinner. Oh the things I must endure. he he he.

Congratulation, on your birthday and also on your decision to be banded. I also turned 50 this year and one of deciding factors for me is I do it now or never, this has been best year in a long time, I feel 10 years younger.

      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.
