Hi, I have enjoyed seeing your posts, Today is my one month anniversary!!

So far so good, only one small set back with a port infection. All is well now.

My pre-op weight 297lbs. Four weeks post-op 275lbs.

I have just started eating soft foods this week. I am starting to feel a little

more hungry these days, scheduled for my first fill on March 7.

Thanks Everyone, I am feeling great! Yes I did see Delarla's post and it is very scary.

I was lucky to have caught the infection early, My Dr. put me in for IV Antibiotics right away, that really helped. It is a very painful thing. I am guarding it with my life. So far I am loving my band, Everyone I have talked with has been so kind and helpful. I don't personally know anyone else aside from my hospital roomie, with a band. So I have really looked forward to seeing your posts, I have learned a lot. Thanks Again

Hello everyone!! I am Lillie. I was banded on 02/02/2005. I am feeling pretty good so far. I thank everyone for all of their comments. It has really been helpful and has answered a lot of my questions. I still have some soreness at the incision, but other than that I think I am doing pretty good. I have lost 12 lbs since pre-op. I look forward to chatting with everyone and I hope everyone has a great week.

Surgery date :02/02/05

Pre-op weight : 300 lbs

Goal weight : 175 lbs

Present weight: 288lbs

      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.
