Hello ^_^ I'm Jonna, and I just got approved for the lap band! My surgery is August 6th (so soon!! AHH!), and I've never had any kind of surgery before. So nervous, but SO excited!! :D

Just a little blurb about myself, I'm a psych nurse at a small census crisis stabilization unit, which I love. I also am musician (classical), have a wonderfully supportive fiance, love to spend time watching anime and reading manga, and love playing video games!

Anyone live in massachusetts?

Hi Jonna!

Congrats on your date! Your post struck me because my inspiration is also a psych nurse in MA who got banded several years ago. His name is Sean Kirby -- seanmkirby@hotmail.com. (I don't think he's on this site.) He's a great guy, loves getting to know new people, and would enjoy hearing from you (and, you probably have friends in common...)

Good luck with your surgery -- I look forward to hearing how it goes!

Alice

Happy you got green lit so fast. I have my initial appointment in August. Love me some manga, anime, (god help me, got all sorts of addicted to kdrama love stories much to my husbands dread) and my final fantasies. ::sigh:: I kinda never let my teenage guilty pleasures go. ::shrugs:: though I am an avid reader too, so it stimulates the mind. :). Nice to meet you.

Casey

      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.
