:hurray: Hi all! I am getting banded April 1 in Monterrey Mexico by Dr. Rambaut. I have been thinking about this for more than a year. I weigh 255 and am 42 BMI. Its so excieting to me to get going. I thought I would introduce myself here. I have 2 friends that I know had great success with the band and I want this to work with me in my battle of the buldge!

I wasnt always fat. As a youth I could eat alot. I was also always out ridding my bike climbing trees playing dodgeball ect... NOW I am not active. I do work full time in sales and on my feet most of the day but that doesnt cut it as far as burning off anything. I love food and Im particular about what I eat. I usually go for the stuff with the most flavor (and Calories). I snack at night. I know this is comming to an end and Im feeling anxious. I look forward to feeling restriction to shut off the physical feeling. Right now I feel like my gluttony is comming to an end. I know WE ALL WISH we could eat whatever we wanted and still loose weight but thats not the case so here we are!

I find it so inspiring, you all here for one another! I am so glad I found this site. :confused:

      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.
