Hey everybody, I am home from the hospital and doing great with my banding. I was the first realize band my surgeon did but there was a rep from the realize company there to assist and supervise. I will check in with you all later today but wanted to let you all know that I did great and it was because I was covered with prayer and good wishes from you all.

Hey, don't beat yourself up! If any of us here could always control our eating we wouldn't be here! Just like you keep hearing...it's not a diet any more it's a lifestyle change, so take it one day at a time. We're all going to continue to have good and bad days, but this band is FOREVER, so hang in there.

Thanks so much for the update Sherry...I don't know about anyone else, but I've been on pins and needles all day thinking about our first bunnies! Feel better soon!

Glad you're feeling well and home safe and sound!

Hannah, I cheated too. I said I wouldn't and totally had a small piece of cake at our baby shower last night. Just get back on the band wagon girl! You can do it!

5_1_122.gif Hey everyone, I weighed in yesterday and lost 17 pds. on my pre-op diet!! I have to go tomorrow and have a scope put down my stomach to look for bleeding ulcers and I will know then if I can have my surgery or not. If he does find ulcers, he won't do it. So I guess, better safe than sorry!!

Be sure and keep me in your prayers!!! I'll keep you posted!

      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.
