I wasnt scared all day in fact i felt really good, till now! I have a 3 1/2 month old son and im scared i wont make it out!! Starting to second guess whether or not to cancel! :( UGH!!!! dont know what to do!! I hope i feel a little better in the morning..

Thank you everyone! My surgery went very well! I was treated as an outpaient so i got home last night. Sorry i was exhausted and wasnt able to get on last night to update yall. Im not in any pain. I just have that gas bubble to work on buts really not that bad. Im sore but able to get up and move around. A litttle twist to my surgery was i had a HERNIA that she removed before she even started the procedure! I didnt even know i had one but i went in for the price of two lol and come out with lap band and a hernia!!! hahahahaha.. Aways everything went really smooth.. Good luck to all of you! and I hope for those that had lapband this week went well also!! :) thank you for all yalls support!!

      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.
