Well it won't be long before I have my lap band surgery, Dec 23rd. I am nervous but so very excited. I just joined this website so I really look forward to the support I heard it gives to new lap-banders. I am looking forward to the weight loss and possible insulin free body I will have. It was time for me to do something for myself that will help me in my goal to get healthy once again. I can use any support and suggestions you may give so please feel free!

Hi Becky, I'm scheduled for my lapband on the same day. Are you in your preop diet phase? I'm on day 4 today. Feeling more hungry today than I have. I hope this levels back a little. My doctor requires using Optifast for the 14 day preop. I feel like you do excited but nervous, which is normal. I have been on lapbandtalk since I decided to move forward in this journey, It is a endless pit of great information. It's been my bible for lap-band information. Try to stay away from the negative comments. They're out there but that not the norm responses you will find. Always those few apples in every bunch. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing,

      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?

      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.
