Hi my name is Kim....I am very excited about getting banded. My insurance has approved but I am waiting on a surgery date. My weight is at 301 so I am very much as my 'largest' . I am 30years old and I am ready for a new me…I spent my twenties ‘fat’ I will not spend my thirties ‘fat’

My goal is 200 than I will go from there.

I am dedicated to myself in this process; I I have always been overweight but I am pretty comfortable in my own skin; until I hit the 250 mark and since than my self esteem has really hit an all time low.

I am doing this for Me. I am doing this for my daughters. I am doing this for a better Me. I am not doing this for anyone but myself....I will succeed at this. I am determined.

      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.
