I am so happy for you, I am glad that everything went well for you. And please stick to the diet, I made a terrible mistake and had a tiny bite of solid food in my liquid phase and paid for it later. But I sure learned my lesson. Get plenty of rest and as they say sip, sip and sip...

Love,

WELCOME TO BANDLAND!!!

Congratulations, Crystal, and it sounds like you're in great shape. I LOVED Trader Joe's for my post-op diet. Just wait till you get to the mushy phase--they have great pates and cheeses there. YUM!!!

Glad you could join us here in the land of the banded gentry. (Love that phrase! ;):):D)

Welcome back, I'm also glad to hear it went well for you. You'll have your ups and downs on this journey, and I send lots of good wishes for a consistently positive and downward trend. Pretty soon you'll be a big loser too!!

The Banded Queen pulls through with flying colors! It just amazes me how easy this process is for some people. You're flying through this like nothing, as if you just went to the dentist. Good for you, I can't wait to see you progress. Congrads, and a big smile to you ;)

I love Trader Joe's. Their Organic Soups are to die for. The ones in a carton. The chicken broth, Tomato Soup, and vegetable broth is so yummy. I use the chicken broth over broccoli and it is so goooooooooood...

Congratulations, and welcome! Alexandra's right about Trader Joe's. That place will save you when you get to the mushy stage. I went totally bonkers in the refrigerated section & can highly recommend the seafood dip and four-variety hummus platter. Meanwhile, put your feet up and let your DH wait on you!

Congratulations to the club - our secret signal is to rub your port three times. Of course we do confuse lapbanders and people with heartburn. Now your only difficult decision will be at restaurants - "If I order this do I want to eat it as leftovers for the next three meals"!!

      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.
