hey everyone! i just was online checking in and decided to say hi!

things have been really busy for me! i worked my but off all summmer! i then went on a three week vacation to visit my family and friends. calvin brought his parents to TN to meet mine. we had a blast!

but now its back to reality. back to work!

bandwise...i wish i had better to report. things have been ok. i have had a few unfills and refills. the latest was a refill under flouro. thankfully my band hasnt slipped and shows no sign of erosion. the dr gave me a fill and i asked him to take out .1 from that, just for good measure. then went on my way.

i seem to be good so far. going slow on liquids.

so i see that lisa's got a new job!! i was a 'suprise lady' for 3 years so i need to email you! i hope all you oldtimers are doing great and newbies make sure your reading the old posts too!

i keep waiting for things to slow down so i can read up on how everyones doing. i did peek in the photo thread and had to look at EVERY ONE again. its a powerful lil post.

Hi Shelly,

Glad you are back. I saw you on OH today as well. I gained about 10 pounds from my all time low when I quit smoking in May. I have not been able to get the 10 off and since I have had plastic surgery, I am still about 9 pounds from my lowest. I am certainly hoping it is swelling, but I did not have any restriction because my plastic surgeon accidently removed all my saline instead of a partial unfill that I asked him to do while I was knocked out in surgery. My lapband surgeon refused to give me back what was taken out even though my band was empty. He gave me 1.00 CC and I had to go to another surgeon to get more saline. I now have 2.2 and I like this level of restriction so far. How is Calvin? Seems married life is treating ya good. I would really like to come see you sometime in the near future. I miss ya.

      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.
