Katie: Hi and welcome. I am 64 about to turn 65 and have had the band over a year, loving it more and more. Anyone can lose weight but the keeping it off is another thing. My band is helping me lose steadily and if I "forget" my healthy eating, it brings me up short very quickly. I love this site too.

hi.. you live in North Van! I live in Chilliwack and am going to a Dr. in Delta... Dr. Woodhead.. I am so excited to be having it done locally... I lost this thread "60's" and could not find my way back to it so glad you sent me an email response.... I clicked andclicked and could not get back to the "60's" group..... I think we are special.. as are the plus 70's of course... but sure am looking forward to this.. Have been on every diet ever made and now with osteoarthritis. cannot do exercise so this is the only thing and I know it will work... I am so exicted for next friday,......

      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.
