I had my lapband done in November. I have lost 50 lbs but most of the loss was the initial post op diet they put me on. I have gone for a fil pretty much every month and think I still am not where I need to be with feeling full. Other then that, I am glad I did it. I live in Putnam County, I dont know how far "Upstate" you are, but I can be a buddy and answer questions if you hav any andjust be supportive ! It gets easier !

OH forgot BIG tip , buy milk powder and add it to the Protein Shakes, yougurt, baby, food, anywhere you can to add Protein. The best is get wonton Soup from chinese take out without the wonton ( they will give you a quart for like $1.25) and then add milk powder, it makes it creamy and protein boosted.

Hi Janet, yes I have gone in for a few fills. But during my pregnancy the baby was so big I think it caused my port to tilt. So I dread getting fills because they have a hard time getting to my port. I gained 40 lbs & really need to get off my but & get it together. I made an appointment for the morning to speak to Jody and get some motivation.

      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.
