Trauma Nurse - I just noticed your signature - we share the same doctor! I am getting banded July 12 by Dr. Haag!!! What has your experience been with him? With his office staff?? I'm so excited to "chat" with someone who has been through all of this with Dr. Haag. He seems like a very nice man....I have my "family" visit on Monday.....If you can, write back about your experience!!! Thanks...

okay, banded March 14.

Had my first fill 2 weeks ago, and my first unfill 2 weeks ago. (I'm at 1cc)

The scale hasn't moved for weeks, but inches are going. My tape measure is packed in ID, so I'll need to buy a new one for home.

I've got serious "girl stuff" going on, so I'm not stressing about the scale.

Still down 25 pounds. And being down 25 pounds is a hellava lot better than not being down 25 pounds

      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.
