It's been a while since I got on to check on how everyone is doing. I just wanted to drop by and say Hello! The pictures I've seen so far, everyone is looking FANTASTIC! I have to admit, coming back and seeing the progress of my fellow Jan. bandsters makes me regret my decision even more. I let my nerves get the best of me, but what's done is done I suppose and I can't go back in time. So, I"m just gonna keep on truckin'..lol. Hope everyone is doing good! :tongue:

Hey Amber! Thanks for stopping in to say hello! You can't regret your decision because it was the right one for you at the time. I'll quote your post: "DH and I had a long LONG conversation well into the early morning I made the decision. I canceled everything Monday morning. I felt like I had a huge weight lifted off of me, so I know I made the right choice."

I can't believe it's been 2 over months since your surgery date! I just had my 3 month anniversary and it's amazing how quickly time flies.

If you don't mind me asking, what were your feelings the month following your scheduled surgery date? Is surgery an option for you in the future or have you decided it's not the way to go?

Be well!

Hi Amber, don't ever doubt that the decision was the right one. I resisted the Lap Band talk from my doctor for years, and it was only last year that I decided to do it.

      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.
