Hello out there. I am new to the blog world and learning. I had lapband surgery May 16th. Pre-surgery weight was 240 lbs, Surgery day weight was 230 and I just hit 211 today. I feel great!! I looking forward to my first fill on July 7th. I really have no restriction now and hope to feel a difference after the fill.

I have enjoyed reading this blog for a couple of months now so decided to jump in. My first question is......how do you get the ticker added to the bottom of your posts?

I will be watching the site for a report on how your fill goes. I am anxious to get that "full" feeling because I think that any day now the self-control is going to fail. I'm also a little unsure about what to expect at the fill. Is it easy, does it feel uncomfortable, will I feel naseated or whatever........you get the idea. Good luck on Monday!

To make a ticker just slick on mine and then choose "create your own ticker" then make it and copy the code when you are done and paste it in your signature.

This is funny. I have three Airedale girls; Holly 5yrs & 85 lbs, Maggie 6 yrs and 65 lbs, and Teeny Tiny Teri who is 12 yrs and only 50 lbs because she has unoperable cancer and is sliding downward. Isn't Maggie the perfect name for an Airedale? My husband and I can't imagine life without the dales.

      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.
