OMG I can't wait to get where you are and drop some of the pills I take... So if I am calculating correctly, it took approx 3 months for you to get the results to drop those meds...

Keeping mental notes of when I might expect the same for myself. I know everyone is different, but gives me more hope !!

WOO HOO... GREAT JOB !

Congratulations Dave !! :whoo::whoo: I must say, the only reason I decided on the band is because I was suddenly being given 1 med after another and found myself taking a cocktail of them each day... not for me. Lost my sister to pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and I didn't want to end up the same.

I know what you mean. It seemed like my meds were increasing all the time. Now if I can get my good cholesterol to come up, I can bail on some more of them. I want to get down to just the Vitamins daily. Gotta have a goal

That's awesome!!!

I was wondering when I'd have to see my PCP again and do new blood work. I thought my surgeon had mentioned around the 3 month mark but I forgot to ask at my visit last week.

I'm curious to see how my cholesterol is doing as well.

You are doing so great!!!

Thanks. I was very surprised at the cholesterol number too. I see my PCP every month, but after this last visit, he wants to see me every other month. Hope everything else is going good with you. Have a great day, gonna go for another walk....Dave

For sure Dave. I'm hoping when I get another 10 kilos off then this may help get rid of another tablet. Good luck and I hope you are down to Vitamins only very soon! :clap2:

      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.
