My surgery date is May 25th! I am currently finishing day 2 of my pre op diet which so far is not going well at all. Mine is an all liquid 800 calorie diet. No solids, no veggies.. Two days in and I'm HUNGRY! I told my husband to hit a cow and bring it home... I'd suck the blood (its liquid!)... I even sucked on a cracker. SAD.

Anyway, I've been working on this from the first day I found out my husbands new insurance would cover it. I did my 6 month Dr. supervised diet (lost 30 pounds - gained 10 back), then had my Gall Bladder taken out. Then we waited for insurance. It was submitted in February, and approved just last week. I called my Doc's office Monday and got the OKAY to start my diet and have surgery in two weeks! WHOO HOO!

I do my pre-op testing on May 16th.

HI All,

My name is Sherry, and this is my very first post. I am all set to have the lap band installed in less than a week, on May 19th. I am super nervous! I am 38 years old, and weigh 230 pounds. There are so many people on this site and so much to read, its nice to see that there are so many supportive people out there as well as others who will be traveling the same journey.

Best of luck to all!

Sherry :)

Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

Yes, my surgery date for my Lap Band Is On Thursday May 19th. I start my pre op liquid diet Tomorrow the 15th.

Best of luck to you and to all the May banders. Let's stay in touch ok?

I don't know how to do the ticker thing. But I will say I am 52 years old and I'm at 318 lbs and need to lose about 160 lbs. May God Bless Us All On Our Jouney

Hugs,

Rose

      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.
