I love it. I am going to have to go to that list for new words to use when I read, yet again, from someone that "the band is just a tool" Thanks for this post. :)

The only "Tools" in all of this are the cretins who keep referring to their Lap bands as "tools".

I think this whole "tool" thing got started (or was at least promoted) by those two ladies who started BandedLiving or whatever it's called. The "Spam Sisters" as I like to call them.....they would visit here every couple of weeks and tell people to visit their blog, where they are promoting their new book....and a "pay" website they seem to want to push. One of the "ladies" doesn't even refer to her Band as a Band....it's her "tool"...........

She is "at one" with her tool......

I'll bet she is......

I prefer "minion". "Whatchamacallit" is good too, but I use that regularly when I forget words, so my family would not know what I was talking about.

      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.
