Back at work...side hurts a bit but every day is a better day...averaging about 600 calories (plus or minus a day) and afraid i'm taking in too much. Haven't seen much in the way of weight loss though I can't get more than a half a cup in at a time. I'm doing my walking and the gas is lessening...thank goodness!

I've been in touch with everyone in my band group (we're going to have to come up with a name for our group...DBV...any thoughts?

I want to start working out again soon. Maybe recumbent bike next week (next Thursday will mark 2 weeks out). This may fall under a different forum but when did you guys start working out again?

gypj (I sure have a hard time calling you this, how bout a nic name?) Are you under cover?

If I'm guessing right, didn't they turn you upside down durning an x-ray? which threw off your groove....and you want to start excersizing? Take it slow.

Am I part off this group? I did get a new band. :banana :banana

Spring-Banders? Congratraulations everyone!

You can stick with Meshawn...gypj was just what I came up with to fill out the form and gypsy is my personal nickname.

Ahh yes the upside down xray..its probalby the reason i can't get full now...i'm having a HORRIBLE time Vera...i'm mushy sorta right now and eating like ...well like i'm on a diet...can' have more than 2 teaspoons here and there and it fills me for hours but I've given up on liquid...I still do want to start recumbent bike next week...my legs are screaming for a good stretch.

I dunno...I thought the hunger would go away...I hear talk of people who don't want to eat for a while...i've been wanting to eat almost since the day I got turned upside down but can't seem to hold more than a teaspoon here or there...*sigh*...I spent too much money to defeat myself but I just can't be at work hungry.

Oh...DBV is Veras new name...it stands for Double Banded Vera...and I think the Spring Bandsters are a great name for our group!

Meshawn, I can't stand liquids anymore!!! I did a 1/2 yogart for lunch and the 4 spoons of Jello here and there is about all I can take. I been takeing prevacid for 4 days now and my esophagus feels better, was haveing pain-heartburn every time I drank something.

This band is different from my first, that's for sure, I'm tighter from the start.

Hang in there your still healling. Things will get better. Say Hi to Mom.

      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.
