hi Joy! thanks for responding. I would love to chat with you. I was banded last may, but my success hasn't been that great. I don't really like my doctors and I feel a little disconnected. I've lost 50lbs since may. I have a lot more to go... How about you? Any tricks or tips. Any problems? I live in San Diego. I'm 26. recently single, lesbian. Love to hear from you!

Hey!!! if kimma081982 is your birthdate, we are almost exactly a year apart!!! 081381!!!~ Leo too! I am in cold and snowy michigan! I would love to live where you are... ahhhhhh... but I would miss my 4 seasons very much too, I guess... recently single? breakup? on top of everything else you are going through.... I am definately here to listen... I was banded 9/30/08... sorry if I already said that... progress for me has been good, I guess... really want to make this work... 55 lbs down, almost half way there! Tips??? I weigh myself ONLY once a week... I do it in the morning and at night to get the most accurate weight... more than that and I play an exceptional numbers game that makes me go MAD, exercise, exercise, exercise (which has never been consistant for me, but I am getting there), Protein first... low carb when I can... although don't ask me what I had for lunch today... naughty!!! Hmmmm... find a surgeon you like??? Mine is rush rush, but the RN that runs the joint is a lot more thorough... problems??? Port pain comes and goes... gas pains are a B$T$H!!! and my second fill was rough... wont get one for a while... next appt is for Feb 9th... I think that I am gonna decline a fill this time, for now.... MISS my BREADS and pastas....

OK I will shut up now.... how about you dear?

hi Joy.

My surgen is very rushed too. He barely says hello. But his RN is really great. This must be true of a lot of them. I have had three fills and I still feel like i need another. The nurse had said that it sometimes takes a year to find the perfect fill amount. Others get two fills and they never have to change it. I have been getting in the excercise and have started running! I used to only walk. I am also obsessed with ab workouts... sometihing about the burn! As far as eating goes... I have a really hard time. Sometimes I can hardly hold down one bite of food and sometimes I can eat what seems to be too much. I wish it was more consistent... I still think I have more learning to do about what my body is telling me. Anyways... enough about me :)

How's your cold day! heheh j/k. I think you mentioned you were married? Any kids? How about your hubby... Is he dieting with you?

I am a leo too! August 16th, same as Madonna!

      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.
