6 days pre surgery hope to have skinny pics to show as the days go by. I'm from pennsylvania, 44 years old, a mom to 3, and married for 26 years. I do a little bit of photograpy and enjoy scrapbooking.

Beautiful pictures everyone! It's great to meet you all.

Below is me and my 9 year old son Trey last year. He

is the reason I am doing this surgery. I am a single Mom

and don't have a lot of family, mainly just my mom. And

neither one of us are in great health. If something were

to happen to us my son would have no one, and I just can't

bear that thought. So please pray for me and I'll be praying

for you all.

I'm Paige.....I live in Northern Utah with my hubby, son, daughter and two jack russell terrors (oops, I mean TERRIERS)....

My surgery is set for March 18th......just eager to get on with it!

This is a picture taken last spring on a bike trip we went on.....it's in Oatman, Arizona.....notice how I cleverly disguised my big butt with a baby burro....great idea, but not terribly practical on a day to day basis!

Looking forward to spending time with all of you!

congrats to all the newbies and to those already banded in March. Tomorrow is my day. Will be overnight in the hospital.

Lost 4# being on Clear Liquids the past 2 days. And so looking forward to more of the clear liquids when I get home. But I know it is all worth it and for a better, healthier me!!

Hiya,

I'm getting banded on Tuesday the 25th, I can't believe it's almost here!! I'm a travel nurse from Canada but currently living in Seattle, thinking I just may stay here for a long term commitment as a staffer. I live with 3 of my 4 basset hounds (the 4th does not travel and stays in canada). I tried to post a pic but on preview it was HUGE and I have no idea how to resize it.

      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.
