Hi

This is Laine. I'm from the UK and I was banded last November. I've lost two and a half stones since being banded. (Maybe more - havent been weighed since early February.

I'm also a member of a great site in the UK called Weight loss info. (WLSinfo). Perhaps some of you are too?

Best wishes to you all.

Laine:)

Heyas Laine, and a big warm welcome to ya. Where about are you from in the UK? My hubby (Dawg) is from Gosport but lives here in the states with me now.

There is a growing population of folks from the UK here at LBT, I'm sure you'll run into them soon.

Welcome! No connections to the UK other than several layovers in Heathrow and DH being detained there once, momentarily, because their Beagle Brigade couldn't tell the difference between drugs and a bag of granny smith apple slices. :paranoid

      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.
