Hi everyone its been a true blessing to find this site of fellow bandsters. I was banded last Dec and its been great addition to my life. It's been working well for me I just received my 4th fill yesterday I've lost about 30 pds so far and I am steady working towards losing more. There have been those times I've plateaued and it gets to be depressing at times but I keep the faith and work harder in the gym. I hope this site keeps us all in good spirits and a positive frame of mind. Thanks for listening to me and I look forward to talking to you.:D

Dear Hazeleyes

I just got your message, many thanks, operation went well last Thursday, out of hospital yesterday and feeling ok. Bit sore but ok. I already feel much more positive than I have ever been in my life as I have always been overweight. I have already lost 8 stone myself and with diets but I was getting to feel demoralised. Now I weigh 99kg, for the first time in 30 years. I am now 56 years old and wish I had done it sooner.

Look forward to hearing from you again

regards

      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.
