I just wanted to say Wow! I was banded on May 14, 2009 and I am doing great :) I signed up on this site because I had so many questions I wanted to ask.

Every time I loged in to ask a question some one has beat me to it....:cool:

It is so nice to know that I am not alone out here and that every one is so nice and willing to help and support...

Thank you all!

Tracey

Yeah, you gotta have a place like this to go, to compare notes, to compare progress, to ask for suggestions or answers.

Because if I didn't stop talking about this life event on my other board/s, they'd probably kick me off. LOL

This is by far one of the best resources for the band online. I don't know what I would do without LBT.

Again WOW!

I go in today for my first adjustment I am excited to see the changes...I have been bouncing between 203 and 206 the last week. I have noticed that I can eat a bit more than before. But I have really been watching what I put into my mouth...makes me a bit nervous because I could go for that piece of cake right now. But I refuse to give in.

Thanks Again to all of you! :party:

This site is great! I will admit that I am a bit of a "stalker" as I do a lot of reading and not a lot of posting. But, it is nice to have a place to go to see if the things I am feeling and experiencing are similar to other people. I love the May group because people are in the same place as me :biggrin:

I agree completely! It is great to have other people feeling the same things at the same time and having the same worries, successes and not to mention temptations.

      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.
