I just scheduled my lap band surgery for December 12th. Figured I would come and introduce myself to the forum!

I am Andrew Smith from Hillsdale' date=' Michigan. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University with a BS in Geography. I am currently married to my wonderful wife, Laura, who has also had lap band done![/quote']

Hi Andrew,

You can do it ... Consistency in exercise ... I have dropped over 250 (still dropping) and my sister www.300poundsdown.com is almost 200 down so far w/ "30 Seconds to Victory"

Hope in Your Future is Power in Your Present!

Hey to you all! Thanks for the update, Andrew! And congrats to all you former "fatties" who have lost many more pounds than me. Wow! you are my heroes. I know that you all are very proud, tell us about some of your NSV's. Andrew already has because he has job working with kids that he would not have been able to do at 420. Give us more!!! Love to hear them! Best wishes to all. Karen

      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.
