It has been a LONG road getting here, BUT, I have a date and will be banded on the 28th of Nov. '07. Yippy! I had no idea there was a Nov 07 board. So I guess this is my Official introduction.

I am 400 Lbs and a 52 BMI, male. I figure since I am male I will hopefully lose weight faster.

I just wanted to say howdy to all and I am glad to be here.

Cant wait to have the band placed!

Later,

Craig

Congrats and Welcome!

I see you are a Cowboys fan. I am also a Cowboys fan and I believe they will go to the Superbowl. I live in Houston though so I am a bigger Texans fan. I have season tickets to the Texans. I love football!

Good luck on your journey!

Go Texans!

Welcome to our group. Since finding this great community I find it hard to go anywhere else. Good luck on your future surgery! I had mine on Nov. 5 and I have been extremely happy. Wait until you see the lbs melt away. It is actually fun to step on the scale.< /p>

yeah, I think they will make it to the SuperBowl but unfortunally, I think the Pats will take them to the cleaners...

thanks for all the support... it is good to be surrounded by support!

      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.
