I was banded in South Korea. My doctor said there were other foreigners banded in Korea but I never found a blog so I started mine to help other people interested in being banded while in Korea and for others who want to talk with a fellow bandster etc. So many people have contacted me since being banded.

I agree with what you're all saying. I started a blog to document my Lap-Band journey, and to share my daily experiences with everyone.

I'm currently in the pre-op diet phase, and ready to be banded on 02/04/2010.

I too have "met" many people through blogging.

Take care,

Logan

It'll be two years in April (if I recall correctly) that I started my blog. I use blogger as well. The Winding Road to Parenthood

My blog started out documenting our struggle with infertility, and now documents my WLS as a next step toward fulfilling our ultimate goal of becoming parents.

Not only will you find lots of band bloggers on the left hand column, but if you are in the IF (infertility) community, you will find many resources to help you with that struggle, including many IF bloggers, further on down the left hand column.

I am considering putting together a WLS Community gathering place for bloggers where you can go to one blog site and have access to all the different weight loss bloggers. We'll see as I know it will be lots of work and effort. Or perhaps LBT can create a dedicated forum here for everyone to list their blogs.

Anyway, blogging is a great way to document your progress, to lay out your feelings, and just connect with others who are going through the same thing you are. I know I've "met" lots of wonderful women in my IF community, and am meeting lots of great people here in the WLS community.

Oh, and also, if you don't have a reader to help you keep track of all the blogs you read, I highly suggest using Google Reader as it will let you know when the blogs you follow have updated with a new post. Google Reader - Tour

      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.
