Hello everyone

I have called my dr to let him know that I want to do the lap band. Not sure but I am tired of being 202lbs. My goal weight is not that bad for my heigh and weight. Not trying to be to skinny like a size zero. I would love to be 150 not just looking good but feeling good about how I look when I look inn the mirrow. I lost before but it came back fast after I broke my leg. My husband will be supportive but he also have to work and I have two little ones at home. I do not know how this is going to turn out for me and I hope that my down time will not be long and hope that it could be done on a Friday and I can recover over the weekend and I have good neighbors that can help me with the kids. I hate depending on someone I am not a good patient.

So I will need some support to go through with this and to easy my mind.

Thank you

King-tasha you have support here sounds like your plate is pretty full all the more reason to get healthy you will have to rely on friends family & maybe some close nieghbors(swallow. Your pride & let them help) but reward them when you feel up too it maybe a meal or babysit for date night but this must be done sounds like you have some really special people that depend on you daily and they need you strong and ready to go the distance I know you can do this

      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.
