Hi!

I joined the board last week but just ran across the Introductions Forum (don't know how I missed it). :D

Anyhow, my name is LaTonsha & I was banded 9/19/05 by Dr. Jayaseelan in Dallas @ Richardson Surgical Center. My weight at my initial consultation (7/14/05) was 369.5, my pre-surgery weight was 362.5, and my current weight is 347. That's down 22.5 pounds in approximately a month! I am VERY happy about the results so far BUT I have been pretty hungry for the last 2 weeks or so. :)

I go tomorrow at noon for my first fill & I can't wait to stop being hungry!

      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.
