Being the mother of a teenager is the hardest job I'll ever love. Any quality time with my busy daughter is cherished. She has school, a job and a horse. She's always on the go. Sometimes I just want to hold her and cuddle her like I did when she was a baby! But she's growing up, and has a good head on her shoulders, and I love the woman in her, too :eek:

I had the most magical moment with my teenager today. And all because of my band!

I posted it on my weight loss blog.

So, how are you all doing?

That is so sweet!!! My daughter is 9 and she too has made comments about how I look good and did the same thing to me like wow mom your waist is really smaller when she hugged me. I just had a smile from ear to ear. I had the same type of experience with my last fill and for a couple of weeks could barely get anything down. I didn't get any removed but probably should have. The last few months have been one day super tight the other no PB's at all. The band has a mind of its own that is for sure!!! BUT I LOVE MY BAND as I feel better then I have in years and I am feeling the peace of not being controlled by my eating disorder. I control it now and not going to bed feeling guilty for overeating that day is soooooo GREAT!!!!! I can be happy with me now and how strong I am for the help of my BAND!!!!!!!!! It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and getting healthy and happy.:eek:

Congrats!

My moment wasn't tear jerking like yours, but it still means a lot to me. I started to eat a piece of leftover pizza today and after one bite I fed the rest to the dogs. It just wasn't worth all the work to chew, chew, chew....I didn't NEED it, nor was I enjoying it. AMAZING

      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.
