Hello there all of my fellow lapbanders. As many of you are aware, I was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 7, 2010. I am doing well and am currently cancer free. I am in training right now for the upcoming Breast Cancer 3-Day walk that will be in Washington, DC on September 23 - 25, 2011. I participated in the event in 2008 and in 2009, in honor of my Aunt who is a breast cancer survivor. I did not participate in 2010 because of family obligations and that is when I was diagnosed. This walk means the world to me becuase I will be walking it as a SURVIVOR. Below is a link where people can donate to the cause. I ask you to please help me with my fundraising efforts. No donation is too small and all donations are very much appreciated. Please help me...

      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.
