My name is Amber and I am 32 years old. I have a son that is two and my partner and I have been together for 13 years. I have just started the LapBand process and am awaiting approval. I was approved a year and a half ago, but decided to give it one last try on my own and was unsuccessful. So I turned in all my paperwork and am starting the process again. I am anxious and excited and nervous all rolled into one. I look forward to this journey and look forward to making new LapBand buddies:)

Congratulations on the start of your journey Amber. What you are feeling is perfectly normal. I wish you much success. Don't give up because this is the best thing that could happen to you. If I had to do it over again I would do it in a heartbeat. Lapband has defiantly changed my life.

I too am new. My name is Susan and I am a 61 yr. old grandmother and mother of four whose "baby" just turned 18 and is leaving for college soon. I have tryed every diet in the world, however with only temporary success. I have been considering this procedure since it came out, but now am decidedly going for it!! I am self pay so the process is going pretty fast. Good luck to you!

      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.
