Hello! I joined our merry band (if you'll excuse the pun) last Friday - April 25. The operation was performed here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where I'm working at the moment and I'm really happy with the progress so far.

My weight when I went in was 123.5kg (275.5lbs) and I'm now at 119kg (262lbs) but most of that is due to going without fluids and food for a few days I should imagine.

Anyway, thought I'd join up to share my progress and draw on your advice as the months pass by.

It's nice to meet you all! :biggrin2:

Welcome, future skinny person. Good luck with your band journey.

I know you're some distance from Burma, but did you get any of the big wind?

Well, I was pretty gusty for the first couple of days after the op, but all's well now. Thanks for asking!

(Joshing aside, as you were nice enough to enquire, we were totally cyclone free over here. Just another sunny, humid day...)

Hi and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and that weight loss! Keep it up and good luck to you!

Glad you faired well through the cyclone. I have been following it on the news and that is just awful! Living in the southern US, I definitely feel you on the sunny, humid day thing!

      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.
