I had my surgery in July and to date I have lost 128 lbs. Its really a mind set. Its going to be hard at first, because when your doctor installed your lapband, he left it empty or with very little saline. You will really not see a difference until you get your third or fourth fill. make sure you follow the doctors orders and get a fill once a month. I wish you all the luck in the world. If you follow the plan, it will work. I also found that popcorn is a very good snack for lapband patients.

21 lbs is awesome. I was fortunate enough that I never battled with the hunger issue. I have found that after 4 fills you really need to revisit what they taught you before surgery. I have found that a lot of what I eat will get stuck if I am not careful. bread is the worst. I have given up on trying to eat bread. Good luck on your journey

      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.
