Sorry, I'm not in the UK. I just post and reply everywhere here at LBT. I have really enjoyed talking with bandsters all over the world.

:thumbup:Hi, I had my band fitted in Bromsgrove in Feb this year. I was really pleased to find this site expecting to get help and answers to small questions but no one seems to bother any more which is such a shame. If you check out the american side of this site its buzzing. Oh well, I at least will answer you I have 8 months of experince to pass one as it is never a smooth ride.

hi everyone, i read ur post before Cakey but I only registered a couple of days ago so couldn't reply. I was banded on Oct 15th. I originally went down the nhs route but eventually went to the Nuffield at Leeds. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience. I got a lot of information and help by browsing the posts from the USA. I found them invaluable in the weeks before my op.

      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.
