Hi. I had Dr. Spivak too, 3/29. Only been 2 weeks but the 2nd week i have been starving and really fought to loose very little. Suggestions?Are we ever allowed diet coke again? Have you tried bread? Been dreaming of them both. I have not had ANY problems other than soreness from surgery, doing some walking- I teach. Would appreciate any suggestions of filling foods because mine don't last long.

If you go out to dinner with 16 people and everyone yells at the waitress in unison, "good god! take that away!" when she starts setting loaves of hot bread on the table, you might be a group of bandsters!

Idaho bandsters rock! I should have brought my camera last night! DOH!

If you prefer to eat your meals with your 1 yr old baby because it helps slow you down, you might be a bandster.

If you walk around and around your furniture, flapping your arms like a chicken, and your SO doesn't even THINK about calling in the men in the white coats . . . . youuuuuu might be a bandster.

If you pass gas and say "Thank you, Lord" instead of "Excuse me" . . . youuuuuu might be a bandster.

If you're THRILLED because the jeans you bought two weeks ago just don't fit you very well . . . youuuuuu might be a bandster.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
