Oh and a side note, for those juice lovers out there. Of which I am one, but lust after it instead of drinking it because of the sugar, try Sobe Lifewater. The Fuji Apple Pear tastes like slightly watered down apple juice!

Its great to hear all your diabetes stories. I'm being banded the day after Thanksgiving and I am so looking forward to getting rid of my insulin, Metforman and Januvia. Not to mention losing a bunch of weight. All of your experiances give me great hope for the future!!!!:thumbup:

The Fuji apple is my favorite and I love it BECAUSE it isnt strong at all -- I really like the very lightness of it!

I am Type 2 also and have been banded for 5 weeks now. The night before my surgery I gave myself my insulin shot...for the last time!!! Getting off of insulin was my ultimate goal and the main reason for being banded (plus losing weight is a major plus!) I see my regular doctor in two weeks and am hoping he will at least lower my Metformin and Junivia. So far I have lost about 32 pounds and hope that losing more will help me be normal again!:thumbup:

      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.
