Hey CurvesinCali,

Welcome! Just had to holler when I saw your location. Although I now live in SC, I lived in Rancho Cucamonga for 6 years . Haven't seen that name in print for years. Take care and the best to you!

Hey Ladies!

Been on the boards for just a minute - here are my stats:

Born and raised in Detroit, Mi, now residing in Norwich, CT

Married 18 years to the love of my life, retired Navy Chief Petty Officer

Three kids - 25 yr old son, 24 yr old son (just made me a grandma), almost-18-year-old daughter who is a H.S. Senior and driving mama crazy!!!

One dog - Sisko (Bull Mastiff - pound puppy), a bunch of fish

Living in an 1850's vintage Greek Revival home which I truly :mellow:

Currently at 260, looking to get to 140 - 160 range at 5' 11" tall

Lifelong history of weight struggles - starting at age 12! Family history of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure

Very supportive hubby - he wants to see me healthy. He's a little concerned about me getting too thin (he likes my big legs and my generous bustline) but wants me off the meds more. Offered to pay for "enhancement" surgery if I need it :tongue2:

Nice to meet the rest of y'all - I hope to be banded before Halloween - we'll see what's in the cards for me...

      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.
