please tell me why you decided to go with the lap band? Did you ever consider the DS procedure? How was Mexico and did you find a doctor to do your fills? Marlene

Hello--

This is my first post, although I have been reading your posts for the past 3 months or so. I was just banded on 12/28/05. The only day I wasn't hungry was the day I had surgery. My doc put me on full liquids right from the start, but they do not fill me up for very long- 2 hours max. I feel like I am actually consuming MORE calories because I am putting something in my mouth like every 2 hours-- although I did lose 4lbs since yesterday- so something is working.

miboyer, I saw that you were worried about putting something in your stomach every couple of hours....well, as long as it is low cal or no cal I would think that you SHOULD lose some weight. 4 lbs in one day....you go!

      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.
