Hello to everyone

My name is Dianne and I have joined tonight the forum, I had my band done August 2007 and have found the journey hard and rewarding.

:seeya:

I have now lost over 8 stone in 11 months with the band and am nearing my target weight. Since having the band fitted I have found a new man and I am getting married in Janaury 2009.

I am disabled with chronic asthma and work as volunteer with disabled adults making cards and craft work. I really feel so lucky to be working with adults and children and making people feel like that can do things they have never tried. I also make cards and sell them for charity, I am trying to raise £1000 this year for hte charity which is Tubersous Sclerosis.

I would like to make new friends and chat.

Thank you for lettting me join and look forward to hearing from people.

      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.
