Hello All, I'm in Nassau, but I haven't shared that I've had surgery with family or friends so I'm a little reluctant to identify myself. I was banded on 8/8/05 and it's been an up and down 5 weeks. I thought I could get and give support in an online group until I'm more comfortable with talking about it in person. I'm very proud and excited about my decision, but I don't want to hear from those who think I have no willpower or that I "cheated." I'm also not ready to be the topic of anyone's coffee-break conversations. I've been reading lots of posts and I admire you all...you are so open and so supportive.

Hi Mary,

Congrats on your banding. I am the oposite I tell everyone I was banded. I can;t keep it a secret.

The great thing about posting here is nobody will know who you really are so no chance of people finding out..lol

Thanks, Amy. I'm looking forward to being a part of this group. I'll probably read more than I'll post for awhile, at least until I get to know who is who. :)

      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.
