Hello lap banders, I am new to the site and I am here to learn...My bestest of friends got the LAP-BAND® 1 year ago...It was a long road but her family was very supportive. We recently were talkin about how as a lap bander she would ask herself if some of the things she was experiencing were a "normal" part of the healing process (nose pain anyone??)

We were able to find so many things in the discussion board! Not to mention that once we read it we figured out that being scared is a normal thing and that it's ok to ask questions...

so here goes: Is there anyone willing to participate in an interview with us?

We are trying to put together a series of "is this normal?" interviews for our blog..:) share your experience with us!!! maybe having nose pains is not such a crazy thing:):)

thanks!

      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.
