I might as well start by saying that I need (and want) the band. But since I've talked to my insurance and they couldn't tell their butts from a hole in the ground, regarding a six month diet, I thought I might as well start it right now.

I have joined weight watchers and will tell my doctor and my shrink the next time I see them and I'm also keeping records (I'm just doing the online thing) and hopefully they will say, "Aww, you don't need a six month diet!"

Hopefully you'll accept me into your little group! I'll be here for a long time!!:biggrin:

See ya soon,

JRG

Hehe why wouldn't we accept you. This is for 6 month diet people that's exactly what you're doing. I just finished mine yesterday but I know what waiting 6 months is like so I wish you looooots of luck

I just have this thing in forums (even in society) that somehow, I'm always in the wrong place. Like, people don't want me there. But, that's all in my head (I'm getting treatment for that, so it's not as bad as it was).

Thanks LJM and Froggi for welcoming me!:crying:

I also lost 4 lbs so far, so it's not bad!

Hey, good luck on insurance and your future surgery!

      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.
