Welcome to this board. The Lapband is the greatest thing I ever did for myself. It's not easy, but worth it.

Im new here and new to this LAP-BAND® idea. I had a class with the doc last night and I have my physical scheduled with my family doc. Waiting to hear when I have pre op appointment with surgeon. Dh is nervous for me and isn't sure it will help. I feel like I need to do this.

I'm 4 years out and mainitaining my normal, healthy weight for over 2 years. I love banded living; it helped me find this normal, strong healthy body to live the rest of my life in. For that, I'm very grateful and so I spend a lot of time paying it forward.

It is really common for those closest to us to be really nervous. Are you planing on bringing your husband to your appointment? I did an interview with my long-term mentor about the 7 Things We Wish Someone Told Us Before Lap Band surgery. One of those things was don't underestimate the impact of your surgery on those closest to you. To get the interview, you can follow this link. Banded Living Audios & Videos Currently Available

Please let me know if it helps, or if you have any other questions. Good luck!

      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.
