I sent a request to joim the group and I also tried to add as many of you as I could. Some of the email addresses didn't work so if I missed some of you, please feel free to add me. donnajo1951@gmail.com

I didn't tell anyone in the beginning either and I totally understand why you are not ready to tell folks. I even had a separate FB page for band stuff for awhile. Then when people started noticing and started asking me what I did to lose weight, I just started telling people. Then I got rid of my other FB page and combined them. My Band doc is even one of my friends!! I woulld love to see you all over on FB!! Cheers!

So sorry chicadee81, it's been awhile since I've been on this thread:sneaky: But thank you sooo much for the compliment on my tattoo. It hurt like something fierce but in the end (4 hrs later) it was all worth it! Something to remind me of where I was and where I am now:thumbup:

I keep looking at tats, but I also can't remember how badly my 1st and only hurt. I remember I was going to ask him to stop and I would come back, but he was done...but i don't remember how long it took or how bad it hurt. It's been about a decade now.

I am 59 and I got my first tattoo about three weeks ago. I got a smiley face about the size of a silver dollar on my ankle. The tattoo artist said he had never done a smiley face before and took a picture of it for his catalog.. It hurt but I am tough.... LOL!!!! It felt like a lot of bee stings to me......Hugs!!!

I could totally use the support! Banded on June 30th and still have questions, and just would be nice to have someone talk to about this. Cuz I have no one here that knows what I have been thru and what I am going thru.

Add me sandradjohnson79@gmail.com :(

I'm triegerb@verizon.net on Facebook.< /p>

I also have a private group set up for LapBandTalk. It isn't very active, perhaps we can merge the two.

Actually out all my tattoos the one that hurt the most was the one I have on my foot! I need to get it touched up (because I picked it, lol) but because it hurt so damn bad I am scared to do it! Even though they hurt like hell I want another one really bad, have no idea where to get it since I am running out of places to hide them.:(

      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.
