I just wanted to say Hi. I have been reading your posts for a while. I was banded April 26, 2007 in Mexico. So far I have lost 85 pounds...with a lot more to go :eek: I am happy with my success so far and have not really had any problems. Still trying to learn to take those small bites and chew....which doesnt always happen. I am looking forward to posting and getting to know all of you. As soon as I can figure out the ticker thing I will add it.

Wowiee, Shannon!!! 85#?? That's amazing!! Way da go girl! Glad you've joined us. There can never be enough Violets!!

I'm on my way to church. Didn't lose anything when I weighed in, but I still have 2 days til Christmas. I'm gonna lose those 3# if I have to chop off an arm to do it!! Well, maybe not quite that drastic. But those 3# ARE going to be gone soon!!

Everyone have a great day. Catch you all after church.

TTFN.......

      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.
