I would love to have a band buddy! My name is Carlor and I am 54. I am at 279 lbs and my goal is 135 -145. I am having my pre-op on tomorrow and my bandind day is Thursday, June 12. I have a long road ahead but I am determined to be successful. I can do this! But I would love to share the experience with a friend. I am a mother of 5. one 33, one deceased at 20 yrs old, nine years ago, one 11, one 9 and one 3. We are fans of adoption. the last 3 are adopted. I just earned my MBA and I do not have a job yet. Life is overwhelming to say the least. Some would say I have a lot on my plate. I often correct them and say that I have a buffet table. I have long exceeded the plate. :confused2:

My name is Kathy and I would love to try to help you any way I can. I have been banded almost 7 mos and have lost 89 lbs pre and post op. I am having trouble getting my last 10-20 lbs to go away! I live near Tower and Illif. My email is katincol@hotmail.com. Write me any time you feel like it. I am 59 so we are close in age and it can be done! Sounds like you have a great family. I look forward to meeting you one day. I have met 2 women from Denver and they both are very nice! Who is your Dr.? I went to Michael Snyder at Rose medical center. Good luck on your surgery and email me! Kathy

      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.
