Hey..I'm a feb 11 bandster!!! So far I've lost 20lbs and counting!!! I am sooo excited about my band...waiting to get my first fill..but my appetite has been significantly decreased since surgery!!! I have to admit I did try to eat pizza..no actually.......I DID eat pizza and I was sick!!!! So I have learned my lesson!!! :( I am seeing my Doc in 2 wks to discuss a fill...the funny part is I can't feel my port..I'm guessing it's because of my flab???!!!! Anywayz..just wanted to become a part of the 'Feb Bandsters'!!!!:thumbup:

Welcome to the Victorious Valentines! Wow, 20lbs! Good job!

hey, i see that you are a scrapbooker! so am i! BIG time... did you start a scarapbook of your weight loss journey?? i wish i could share mine...it is awesome... i got before pictures of myself taken at picture people with a solid white background... probably could've done them myself but wanted them to turn out good... i got them scrapbooked--- now just waiting until i have enough weight off to "tell" in a picture-- then I'll go back and get subsiquent pictures of my weight loss... picture people was used to me coming in with my kids/family...when i came by myself--they asked what was up... i told them i was planning on losing lots of weight and getting healthy in 2008.... so they gave me a SIGNIFICANT discount on my first pictures... and offered me more great discounts if they could display my loss on their walls!! So my FAT pic is up on the wall!! what fun!

No, but I do have those white background pictures, because I'm a photographer. I had dh take them. I have a set fully dressed, one in sports bra and yoga pants, and a bra and underwear set that I won't be sharing. LOL

      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.
