I am getting ready. My surgery is Tuesday March 6, 2012 @ 10 am. I can't believe it! When it was scheduled I thought it would take forever to get here but it didn't. I have done my shopping and have everything I need. I still need to pack a few things and then I am done. Lately I have had a few people try to talk me out of the lap band and into the RNY. I just tell them nicely, that they need to save their breath because the lap band is what I have chose and it is what I am sticking with. Me and my lap band are going to be a team! It is going to work for me and I am going to work for it! There's no stopping me now. Lookout world here I come.

Good luck to all of the others getting banded soon! Stay positive.

Thank you for replying! I will let you know how it went. Also how do I get a weight loss ticker? I tried in the past to get one but I couldn't get it to show on my posts. Any help would be awesome!

      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.
