To keep it fair, I would suggest opening this up to only folks that have already been banded. Only b/c lets say I get banded in october and WOOOSH, I lose like 30 lbs because I'm eating Clear liquids ((you get my point)), I dont think thats fair to others...

JMHO....

So can those of us doing pre-op diets join? I have to love 45lbs before I can be banded, so I will probably have surgery late October. I would love a challenge.

My intention is to provide a challenge for those who are banded on or before the sign up date.

By offering this challenge I am donating my time and my money, so I want it to be completely fair.

I myself wanted a challenge to help me hit my own Holiday Goal's, I know I wont be apart of this challenge but I thought it may help inspire others to get back on track before the dreadful Holiday Banquets begin.

Hope no one is too offended, I’m sure I’ll do another Challenge…

Many Thanks, Trufolk

Nana~

Ya'll could send the Pre-op folks over to the Fall Challenge thread. It is a bit of an unfair advantage to be pre-op and competing for such a lovely prize. So generous Nana!

Over at the Fall Challenge, it's a friendly competition for the most weight loss. We know pre-op folks will likely be losing lots and will "win" but the challenge is more an individual one. Most folks are trying for 10 pounds in 10 weeks and it ends the Monday before Thanksgiving (thank the Lord!!) So we weigh in every Monday and posting that weekly weight keeps many of us accountable and on-track. That's the idea of the Fall Challenge and we welcome all the pre-op folks over there. The prize there is weight loss!

For you banded, more competitive spirits, I think this is perfect!!!! I'll be keeping an eye on you. Good luck!

Oh, here's the link to the Fall Challenge...

I need a challenge & am totally in Nana. I may be going for a UNFILL tomorrow- I just can't eat sometimes & I think my metabolism is shutting down. Right now as we speak I had to drive home right away because I was throwing up in a cup in my car from two bites of egg & sausage. Yuck!!! Thank GOD for the cup! :0)

Heya Nana,

What a generous offer! One question here. Is this challenge for chicks only? The "under the bust" measurement kinda got me wondering? And just where is that located on a man? I totally understand if it's for women only. I'm in if it's for men also.

      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.
