I have a daughter 1.5 and my son is 3.5, I'm having a hard time NOT carrying them, I have to keep reminding myself it's only been a week!!! I am feeling great other than the crazy itchness if the scars, how about you?

Hi, we are the same age and I also have two kids--boys! I was banded on 3/18/11. I would be happy to be your friend. I am also looking for friends especially right now....feeling a little bummed and useless. How old are you kids? Mine are 2 and 6.

You would think with all of our online knowledge being in our 30's this site wouldn't be so complex!!!

Thanks! So simple :D

I use an app on my phone called myfitnesspal.com, I wish this site was like that so we could push each other!! They are having this "april springs" competition but I feel like it's cheating to take part, now if it was ALL newly lapbanded people that would be awesome!!!

I can't wait to be able to exercise :D

hi jen. i got banded on 3/15. no kids but happy to be an auntie to several.

i'll kick you in the bum if you do the same. :D

      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.
