If it makes you feel any better, I think the more weight you have to lose, the quicker it comes off...with you having not too much to lose, it might take a bit longer. ((hug))

How are you feeling? feeling pretty good. Still have some wond issues from a large hematoma from my blood thinners. I can eat just about anything. I'm thinking about not getting a fill if I continue to lose and feel full like I do now. Not ddue for a fill until last of May so we will see if my satiety holds.

This is the best thing I have ever done.

How Am I Feeling? I have been having a rough time adjusting to life with the band. I have not experienced more energy yet but I'm looking forward to that day. I have been having a lot of chest/abdominal pain from gas (I think). I just bought some GasX today and I'm hoping that will help.

      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.
