Hi Lisa,

I too am just beginning this journey and really don't know anyone on this site. Hope we can help each other! When were you banded?? I had mine done on the 19th of July.

Hello Kristie!!

It's a pleasure to meet you!! I don't know many folks on this site either - but they all seem very nice, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with!

Ohhh, I'm not banded - yet! I am in the beginning stages of the whole thing. Talked with the PCP and the insurance company, found a surgeon in my area, and am attending my first seminar next wednesday!

Congratulations on YOUR band tho!! I am anxious to hear about your journey!

I am new here also.

Lisa, I went to my info seminar this past Wednesday, I think the same day as you! So it looks like we are right at the same spot! I'd love to get to know more people on here for support! I have support from my family but it would be nice to have it from people that are going through it as well!!

      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.
