Don't think it's rude at all. Don't think anyone would be offended when they're told that we enjoy having them around and miss them. I'm on it.

As a VV who doesn't post very often, I thought this was a good thread to say hello to fellow VVs, frequent posters and like me, very infrequent posters!

As for my band, as of today I'm down 80lbs, yay! Another 40lbs to go then TT! Hasn't been easy, a lot of frustration but I would do it all again tomorrow if I had to.

Although I don't know any of you, and I live in a different country from most of you, we're all on the same journey and I love reading about everyones ups and downs.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Sadie :smile2:

Hi Sadie...YAY is right! 60 pounds gone - that is fabulous!

And (nosy soul that I am) I really would like to know how your TT journey progresses. Have you already met with a plastic surgeon? How did you find him/her? Relative to the cost of the band, is the TT more/less/about the same?

I work with the Surgeons who put my band in and I've known the PS since he qualified. Relative to the cost of the band, is the TT more/less/about the same? The band was self pay at £7950 (british pounds). The TT is around £5000.

      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.
