I am a 45 year old female very happily married to my best friend and husband for 26 years! We have two sons who are married, a daughter in college and one angle boy watching over us. I am a professional photographer and absolutely LOVE the creative outlet it brings. I work from home...I would love to have a studio some day! I shoot on location and have a portable studio for indoor shots.

My husband and I were banded on the same day - August 2nd. We decided to begin this journey together because who better to understand and support than your best friend going through it at the same time!?! I've written my banding story on my profile if anyone is interested.

I look forward to being active on the Lap Band Talk Forum as a place to ask questions and support others.

Glad to meet you!B)

Hi, my name is Julie, I am 33 and was banded on June 13th I am down 37 lbs since then...I have enjoyed reading the forum topics as it is nice to read that people experience the same things that i do ie: burping and the "tightness" if you eat or drink fast...I look foward to checking in with everyone to read about their success stories and hope that I too will be successfull on this long journey called life with lapband :-)

Welcome and best of luck to you guys on your new journey. I was banded on July 13th so this is fairly new to me. I will have my first fill on the 18th. Looking forward to start losing weight a little faster than it has been thus far.

      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.
