Thanks for all your support this year, particularly after I had my stroke. At this point, I'm in rehab relearniing everything from washing to20kilos, cooking and sitting on a chair - I've gone back to baby days. I'm pleased to say that I have now lost 20kilos, but wouldn't suggest that anyone have a stroke - it changes your life for the better, it changes your life forever - not for the better. I'm still here and winning my battle. I Haven't had a fill yet, but don't feel hungry ever! I haven't PB'd - thanks to the nurses who dob on me for doing the wrong thing. I had my first real belch in 2 months today. it was long but came out in small amounts!

I don't regret my band after having a stroke post-op. it could have happened anyway, given my dud blood genes.

Cheers,

Jen

I'm glad to hear from you. I was wondering about you and have sent you a private email since I didn't see you around. I was banded one day before you and was used to seeing your posts and then you weren't around. I had no idea you had a stroke. It sounds like your doing well and I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work and my thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery.

      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.
