The day is finally here. I can't believe it and it is a bit surreal. I was very fortunate in my whole lapband process. I started with the initial consult 1/08/11 and was blessed to have my surgery scheduled exactly one month later 2/08/11! I thank my awesome insurance Anthem Blue Cross, my awesome Dr's office Dr. Michael Feiz, and I thank my family and friends for their support. I am nervouse, excited, and so happy about what's to come. I am ready to claim my life back and prepared for the journey on the way B):lol:;)

I am to be banded in a few weeks and would like to hear your feedback on how you feel and how you are eating.

Best of luck to you.. I am a bit scared but excited at the same time.

Wow! How exciting!! By now, you are probably banded and, maybe, not feeling so great. Keep in mind, you will be feeling great soon. The starting point is the hardest ad it will get easier from there. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see how completely successful you are! Cheers to the new you!!

Thanks you all. I am home and feeling better. I am on liquids and the pain meds and rest are really helping with the pain.

      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.
