Recommended Posts

Hi All, I have not been on this board in a while so thought I would check in! I had my 6 month bandiversary this week. I can say now 6 months later that this band was the BEST decision I ever made for myself. I feel better than I ever have and am SOOOO close to twoterville I can taste it. I have been in the 300s since my teens so to be so close is exciting.

I fly for the 1st time in a LONG time on May 4th, it will be a tear filled moment if I can sit in that seat and not need a belt extender... that will be my 1st huge moment....wish me luck!!

You look great Jacylin, congratulations i too am flying for the first time since i was banded, and i am also looking forward to not having to ask for an extension for the seat belt, and for having more leg room, and for been able to use the food tray and not having to share my husbands. :scared2:

Congratulations again and good luck on the rest of your weight loss journey. :blushing:

      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.
