The sound of yet another one being sucked into the vortex...

It's really just a great big experiment - how long does it take most people to get addicted to LBT??

It's harder at home, since I have dial up - but when work is slow, I am all over LBT all day long...

Thank Goodness I found this place! Yup, it's better than crack.

Hi everybody. My name is Jen and I'm an LBT o'holic. (Everybody...hi Jen).

Well, it first started back in July. It was very innocent at first. I was trying to find out info about the lapband. After visiting no less than 50 websites, one doctor said on his site....I'm not going to sugar coat this. There are some people that struggle even after the band. I am not affiliated with this site, but it may be helpful in your research...Lapbandtalk.com.

Well, I went to this site. At first, it was free. They offered me a little and said, "It won't hurt".

The next day, I found myself pacing around the computer. Should I go there? Well, a little won't hurt (like potato chips). At this time, it was still free (looking back, I see that I was being lured into the vortex).

By the next day, I was on here 2-3 hours/day. Only now, it was like $10 a bag. Oh wait, I'm getting mixed up. I mean free.

So here I am, now 4-5 hours a day. Still free!! Where else can you feed an addiction for free?

So, welcome to my 12 step program.

      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.
