My very first post....but I couldn't resist this time. That was an AMAZING article - touched my heart more than anything.

Only 11 days post-op but also 11 days HUNGER FREE.

I think I am finally free and I am so happy.

Thanks you so much for sharing.

I am into my second month of Physician supervised weight loss in preparation for the Lap-Band procedure and am finding a wealth of information on this site. This article is amazing and a must read for everyone. Thank you.

I know! I have to say, when I saw it in the thread about "success stories" I immediately read it. I do believe it should be a must read for those considering surgery. Copies should also be given by bariatric centers.

Welcome MSheli19. I am glad you joined for forum but especially glad you got your lapband. Good luck on your journey. I am banded 15 months and even with all the ups and downs I have had, this is the best decision I have ever made.

I must be hormonal. I actually found myself crying while reading his article. Don't you wish everyone would just 'get it' already?

      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.
