Hey there people!

This is my first post! I'm so glad I found all of you kindred spirits here on LBT. I will be banded on the 29th. Ahhh Next thursday. I had a random dream the other night where my band tried to burst of my abdomen Alien style and started talking to me about food choicesohmy.gif. So it's safe to say that I'm feeling a little bit of the lap band jitters. I currently live and work in South Korea. After two yrs of being an expatriate I'm moving stateside in 6 weeks so I'm sure band management will be a bit easier. I look forward to chatting it up with you guys! Fingers crossed for next week!

I'm getting banded on the 27th which is kinda like the 29th in S. Korea rolleyes.gif I was looking for someone who was around the same time I was. I am getting really nervous, too. I have waited 3 years and can't believe it is a week away! Good luck! I look forward to sharing our progress!

      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.
