Thanks Glove...Have you decided if you will get banded or not? Or still debating? I know it is a hard decision. All day I have had that....do I really want to do this feeling. But I know it is just jitters. I have updated my will and wrote down who my life insurance policies are with. My husband would never be able to figure it out....lol I left for the weekend to attend an event for my daughter and you would have thought the world ended. The dogs were fed sporadically when someone remembered, my husband forgot to pack his lunch for work and complained of a headache all day. I can't wait to see how they will react this week when I am kicking up my heels in "recovery"...boy am I going ti milk it.

I have decided to not be banded. My date was today! I know my husband is relieved and I feel very good about this decision. Good luck tomorrow! You should milk it! Get as much rest as possible before you get back in the old routine of life. I will be looking forward to your post lapband posts!!!

      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.
