Hi all

I was banded 10th Feb and after 21 days of liquids I could eat solid food. Unfortunately it was also the 1st day of my all inclusive holiday in Cancun!

Ist meal= small portion of fish and veg

2nd day= 1/2 omelette (:sneaky: fish/veg (L) Small steak /veg(D)

7th day = anything I can put into my mouth.

Oh How I love the band. After two pain filled moments with bread/toast.

Back on track and I only put on 2lbs. Usually it would have been 10-12lbs.

Ist fill is in 2 weeks.Hooray!

We go to cancun every year and also stay at an all inclusive resort. We will be going this upcoming June. it will be the 1st time back since I have been banded. In the past I too have gained at least 5 pounds on our 10 day trips there. This year I know I wont over eat, I wont over drink. I have my tool and we are working together to keep me healthy. I can't wait to go this ye4ar and be able to do things I couldn't do last time, such as Cliff diving, parasailing, wearing my bathing suit without being all covered up like a mummy....

... if all inclusives ever have special rates for banded guests :scared2:

I'm hoping to be banded at the end of July, and am going to an All Inclusive on the Myan Riverera (first time, ever :thumbup:) in November, for a wedding.

      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.
