Haven't been here in a while. I am from December 2012. Anyway, I was banded a year ago today. 81 pounds later, consistent and steady. I feel better, look better and have made significant ant improvement in my blood pressure and cholesterol. A work in progress.

Don't be afraid. This will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

I'm scheduled for lap band Dec 19th! Woohoo! So excited to continue this weight loss journey. I'm currently 29lbs down from my heaviest weight due to the pre-op diet and I'm 10 days into my liquid diet with no cheating. I've only entrusted my nearest and dearest with the news of my surgery, everyone else thinks I'm having a hernia repair (which is true). I'm praying for a speedy recovery and hoping to live a longer, healthier and more active life for myself, my 18 month old and my wonderful hubby!

Getting really nervous - have to report at the hospital at 10am tomorrow morning. Insurance has approved, I lost the final weight required by my surgeon and every thing is a go. I just with I could fast forward to tomorrow as my anxiety is peaked right now. Not looking forward to the pre-and post op of tomorrow and the week that follows.

Hope everyone else is doing well tonight.

Good luck kimk1999!! I'm sure you will do great. I have two more days of pre-op diet and then surgery is on Wednesday. I'm nervous and excited for it to be over at the same time.

My insurance only requests that you tell them when your surgery is, a few days before you have it, but there isn't anything else they "approve". Is that the case for anyone else? I think I'm getting confused by the "approval" talk surrounding surgery day...

Ps: does anyone know if you can have miso Soup as part of your pre-op diet?

Good luck everyone! Xxx Lulu

ThanksI'm in Clearwater Fl (USA). My insurance required me to do a 3 month diet with a physician. Have a comorbid condition (high cholesterol or others), then when all that was set and surgery date was picked I needed X-rays, EKG and blood work and a letter from my primary doctor. It took them about 2+ weeks to approve it.Good luck to you too.

      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.
