On sale for $79.99 and you get a $10. gift card, it's really good on ice turning it to snow & I want one that's really good for smoothies and it does a lot lot more so I figured, splurg and get a better one. I will be using it for a long, long time!

Good luck Momos. I was banded 7/10. I don't regret it yet! How are you doing with your pre-op diet?

Good luck! You will be surprised at how soon you are feeling better. Mine was a week ago (Realize band). I was flip-flopping between Lapband and Realize and didn't decide until an hour before my procedure! Just follow all your doctor's advice' date=' attend support meetings before and after and you will do very well![/quote']

Thank you! By the way I don't know the difference between the lap band and realize band, could you fill me in?

I'm on the 12th and for some strange reason it hasn't sunk in that I'm having lap band. I think it's because I'm afraid it won't work because I have failed so many times in the past. I have heard from people that it just didn't work for them and yes' date=' I know on this site there are hundreds of success stories. Why I feel like a failure beats the crap out of me. :([/quote']

How are you feeling now? I hope everything went smoothly for you. Thinking about ya.

      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.
