Hi! Thought I'd join the March bandsters and give it a try. I had my surgery March 26, 2008, in Mazatlan, MX. I live in Eastern WA State and manage my brother's (and two other provider's) medical practice here. I am the mom of 4 grown children (2boys, 2 girls) and Grandma to 4 (5 in Sept!) sweet grandkids! I spent the week following my surgery at my brother's condo in Mazatlan, so that was a big help in recuperating. Doing ok at this point. Just started mushies so that helps some. Looking for a good place in WA State (especially Eastern WA) to get my fills done. Any suggestions?

Starting weight: 260 lbs.

Surgery weight: 252 lbs.

Current weight: 242 lbs.

      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.
