Most of us December Bandsters struggled through Thanksgiving on liquid diets. Christmas will be a little easier since there are more activities than eating.

If you havn't already checked it out there are a few other December Bandster threads that have good prep info.

The posters in the group have promised to give regular updates.

very supportive community.

Ms. Diva, you are not doing bad. Everyone is different. I am at 17 pounds and am getting my first fill today. I am hoping the weight starts coming off quicker after my fill. Just think it is 11 pounds you had 2 wks ago that you dont have now. Another thing is even though I have lost only 17 pounds I feel so much better, my snoring has stopped! and my clothes fit much better. be proud and good luck. We are just beginning our journey!

      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.
