Five of the sweetest words that you will ever hear are... "You are just shrinking away!" This phrase was said to me 2x today. :thumbup: It is amazing how a few simple words can brighten even the darkest day.

Isnt it the best feeling?!

I lost 15 pounds (my weight loss is pretty slow since I was a lower BMI patient)

but finally, its at the point where you can notice.. My husband tells my face is slimming and I have gotten several comments at work already and its only 9am!

A small little compliment really goes a long way!

It is great, isn't it. I even overhead my mother-in-law saying to my husband how much my weight loss is showing. It's kind of even better when you overhear it because you know they're not just being nice.

Sweetbean I know you loved hearing it and believing it is so important!!!!! When ppl compliment me, I have started to just say thank you instead of saying something negative about myself. Yay the band and our partnership!!!! Well, OK, I must also YAY my trainer for making me move my butt, LOL!!!

      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.
