call me a doubting thomas, but I wondered if she was doing a bit of an anne diamond, not admitting to sugery. And fern, she is keeping rather quiet about her own weight loss isnt she. Good for both of them, I am not critisising in any way. If they have been banded and want to keep it private, I wish them luck.

She looks fantastic. Usually I don't read the comments because there's always some smart-arse with derogatory comments such as 'still fat though' from Bob Downe in Lincoln.:confused: Just wondered is Bob Downe a joke name, kinda like duck down? :wink2:

Have you seen the news today. Its apparently been confirmed by Fern herself that she was actually banded two years ago (though its quoted at saying she's only lost 3 stone since, it looks like a lot more to me!)

She looks great & I think it does a lot for other peoples perceptions of Gastic Bands for someone like her to "come clean" & admit to the op. If people can see how it helps someone like her, then they might understand more. But she has put a lot of emphasis on the exercise regime she has also undertaken, like cycling & walking the dog. I'm hoping it doesn't make people think its a quick fix solution. The fact it was 2 years ago shows the lengthy journey that it takes.

I'm just glad I got my band done already! Guess how big the queue will be at the GP's surgerys in the morning, when it puts the idea in peoples heads!! :lol:

Suzi :P

      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.
