Congrats! I too just recently hit onederland! I couldn't believe it and like you I got on the scale several times moving it around the bathroom and hall to make sure it was not my imagination! Even made Hubby come look to verify what I was seeing! LOL It's great!

I rmember when I hit Onederland. I was telling a co-worker and I started crying! It really was a big thing for me to be there for the first time in years. That was a pivotal success and I never looked back. I have enjoyed more and more sucesses since, each one giving me the incentive to go on and prove myself more. Congratulations on this incredible milestone in your life!

Congratulations!! You must be very proud!! I will be getting the "band" soon (just waiting for insurance approval). Reading these posts is an inspiration. I know that it is going to be a lot to get used to, but I can't wait until I can get used to being skinny!!!

      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.
