See your doing great with your band. I'm sure its hard alot of the time but I think you will lose more weight and keep it off with alot of dedication and your band there to help. I'm sure it makes you feel good to see those bigger sizes going out the window and the new smaller sizes coming in. Keep up the faith in your self and that band and you will lose more weight than you ever did on any diet and you will keep it off.

It's funny how I have kept many different sizes of clothes over the years. I had them all in big suitcases and now I unpacked all of them and started shopping through my closet.

Shopping through our closets--great description! Isn't it fun? I've found several cool items on a shelf in the closet that I bought at the start of one diet or another as motivation, that have never been worn. The trick now is finding them before they get too big!

Congrats, Norma! What a great feeling! I know you've had reservations about the band; I'm glad you're getting a super fringe benefit.

I have to say it does feel good. I am a woman of prayer aswell as many of you. I finally told myself that although I should have thought more in detail about my decision, I made it and have to live with it. I gain nothing complaining about it right?! So I put it in Jehovah's (have to give him a name you know :) )hands and am also going to counceling tomorrow to deal with the worries of what may or may not go wrong, etc. And to deal with the mourning of my favorite foods--creamy Pasta, pizza, big mac's, etc.

The fact that I am losing weight however, has giving me alot of energy and has improved my back. So there is a positive to everything.

Don't forget that your local Women's Shelters could use the clothes (with a little tax write off to boot) if they don't have any rips or stains.

Don't mourn just yet. You might still be able to eat some or all of them. I just had a slice of pizza, and I have no trouble with most pasta. You can keep the Big Mac, though.

      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.
