Hi Susan, watch out for my brother, he's a cop in Ft Worth. I'm the DH to MsJoy (the banded one). If you have any questions, just ask away. Someone here will be glad to answer it, I assure you.

Hi Susan,

I live in South Grand Prairie, right where Grand Prairie and Arlington meet at I-20. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut on March 7th so I know how you're feeling right about now! Welcome to Lapbandtalk, it was (and still is) a GREAT resource for me. Do your nerves a favor and don't spend too much time on the complications forum. It's nice to know what kinds of things can go wrong but it definitely rattled my nerves - I worried WAY too much about the surgery. You'll do great.

There are a group of lapband people meeting tomorrow at the Jason's Deli at 635 and MacArthur Blvd. That's tomorrow, tomorrow, Saturday March 25th at 11:00 am! You should come along, have lunch, and meet some other DFW bandsters.

Good luck to you on your weight loss journey.

      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.
