I am venturing out to work tomorrow for a meeting that is 1 hour long.That is about all I think I can handle. I actually work part time as a researcher and can make my own hours. I am basically a SAHM with 2 boys. I don't think I could go to work for a full day tomorrow...I would type up the sub plans and give yourself a rest! Also I was told no bra with underwire for a while...I am wearing a very stretchy & cozy sports bra, my one incision is right on my bra line...ouch!

I think I might work a 1/2 day. I am waiting for my principal to cal me now. I don't wear underwire but I am still having problems. I can't just go out and buy any old bra. I am a 44J and have to have them special made. If I could handle it for 1/2 day I think I will be okay. Good luck to all tomorrow.

Lise, I'm following your journey! We were banded about the same time, and have lost about the same amount of weight so far.

Best to you!!

Yeahhh - a band-twin! Are you going through mushy madness, as well...wanting to eat everything you see? I am so hungry now I am about to call my dr and see if I can convince him to fill me early...or tell him that I will consider cheesecake "mushy" and eat it morning noon and night!

I saw my dr on Thursday and pretty much threatened to eat the neighbor's toddler...she didn't move my fill appointment up! haha!

I had my first band for almost 5 years, but when it slipped I gained back about 30 pounds b/c I had ZERO restriction. I HATE not being restricted right now! It had become such a way of life for me, and I miss, miss, miss it! I don't want to re-gain these few pounds I've lost so far....but I've been down this road before, and I KNOW I will probably gain some back before my first fill.

I was just looking at the calendar....my first fill is on Apr 10. No way on this planet will I make it that long!

Ugh - mine is April 1 and there is NO way I'm going to make it that long! I feel your pain...that is for sure! All I can think about is what we have in the house that is semi-mushy friendly!

      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.
