My preop is eggs for Breakfast and veggies(salad) and 4-6 oz of meat veggies to snack in between if hungry. First few days were hard but now Im not even hungry and have to remind my self to eat LOL. However because of this I'm thinking I can loose this way why do I need the band?..... then I remember all the times I lost 60 then gained 70lbs back......Its going to work out!!!!!

Exactly! LOL. I'm getting so anxious...8 Days until surgery. Can anybody let me borrow their patience please? Hehe

Im tomorrow too...yay for us....8:30 check in with a 10 am surgery :)

Waited so long too, am so ready and not the least bit nervous about the surgery. I am more nervous to come home to my 3 children and hubby who needs help because of parkinsons...I really wish I could have a day of peace to myself to rest somewhere other than home( I know that sounds sad- as that is where you should want to go to rest)...that is the part that is not going be easy for me! Good Luck and cant wait to check in with everyone tomorrow

Well!!!!!!! Im Banded! 5 days out.. Feelin Great, now that the gas in my left shoulder is pretty much gone. I can get up and down by myself, but need help getting up from lying position on the couch. Bummer, but funny. I go back to work tomorrow,, I think things will be pretty smooth. I heard of someone having to take shots of heparin in the belly after surgery,., i thought this was a little abnormal.. Any input would be great. Im now eating oatmeal, and applesauce aling with shakes. I try to drink drink drink. Im not very hungry, which is a true miracle in itself... Things are good.. Thank you for all of your support within the lapband talk site... wonderful.. How is everyone else feeling. Any questions??

Good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow! I certainly haven't regretted my choice. I have already lost 23 pounds since preop and surgery 2 weeks ago. I feel great and already have a lot more energy.

      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.
