Such a great success story for me to read. Being 10 months out I'm such a slow loser. It keeps me going knowing that the light is somewhere in the tunnel I just have to keep plugging along.

Thanks everyone!!!

Its not all easy and at times it can be really hard and you just want to give up.....but dont!!!!

The band will work if you work with it, if you fall off the wagon, get back up brush yourself off and get back on.

For those who have been at this for a while. I have a dumb question, how do u measure a 1/2 cup or 1 cup of food. Do you weigh it or jam all the food into a measuring cup. I aim for 4 to 8 oz at a time because I don't always have an opportunity to cut up everything into a measuring cup. Just wondering. Have lost 24 lbs since starting this journey in late january. Had surgery on 2/28

      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.
