Hello Judith67. My name is Michelle and I live just a stone's throw away from you-in New Port Richey. I was banded in February of this year. Doing well overall, but still struggle at times. I would gladly offer up advice or just lend an ear if you would like.

Hi Ilene. I had my surgery on July 3 and I did two weeks of Optifast prior to the surgery and have been on a liquid diet since. I start on soft foods tomorrow I am a 67 year old woman and retired and work for FEMA on a part time basis.

To my Floridain gal friends. Think of the bathing suits you will be wearing soon.

You gals will not starve from having less food, or soft food. I promise you. I also promise you both that you will be much happier with the weight loss you will have. The band is a wonderful tool. But we cannot cheat or abuse the tool. i did so great cause I went full blown on the band. At 64 now 2.5 years ago i was 62 and I lost slowly. When I lost 89 my friend who is 12 years younger lost 135. So I will be happy to work with both of you gals. If you want me to. Just ask...YOu can also send me a private message or use my email at aol. does not matter to me. but what does matter is that both of you spend alot af money and now have the lapband. So we can work together. drink that Water right now.....hugs

For some reason I thought I read something about someone feeling that they will starve on soft food. Am I nuts? Oh I see it was starting not starving...sorry.

Judith,

So how are you doing with soft foods? For me, they were a welcome change. You should start to feel at least a small amount of restriction at this point, provided you are not drinking.

      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.
