Howdy Ya'll, My name is Ann. I am happily married to my DH for 16 yrs. We have 3 wonderful kids, 2 boys and one girl. I'm in Central Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. I am a department manager at Target, Conway. I was banded March 31st by Dr Rex Luttrell in Little Rock. I love spending time with my family and have become addicted to walking, hoping soon to be jogging. I am happy with my band but worry too much that something is wrong, flipped port, slippage, or tube disconnected, that type thing, But all and all I'm happy with my progress so far. The reason I chose the band was so I could lose slowly and tone as I go, but I want it now, lol. I wish you all the best and thanks for starting this thread so we can get to know everyone.

Ann

      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.
