Just getting this thread started again, as I KNOW there are several NSV's that we can Celebrate in our 2nd year of banding! My family just returned from a very active trip to Sequoia, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite - many steep, long hikes to waterfalls and to see the beautiful giant Sequoia trees, as well as canoeing and swimming. I felt like I did 20 years ago - I kept up with my fit Husband and two young sons (7yrs & 8 yrs - very active) and felt GREAT! A few weeks back I Water skiied (single) for the first time in 10 years - I felt like a teenager! It just feels so good to actively participate in life again, instead of sitting on the sidelines or vegging in front of the TV, mindlessly eating and lethargic! I'm still training for a 5 mile mud run in a couple of weeks, and I can't believe I can jog 3 miles without stopping. I hope all of you are enjoying your new bodies and associated health benefits too! :)

Mamadot, sounds like you had a great time on vacation! It's awesome that you can run and waterski and all that fun stuff! I also feel 10 years younger. :thumbup:

Have a blast with the mud run -- I've heard they are fun! :)

      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.
