Welcome to the forum! You can find a lot of knowledge about LBS here. The only thing you really need to know right off the top, this is not a quick & easy procedure! Read some of the post so you can get an idea.

It took me 6mths of hoop jumping for insurance to approve. Most have 2 wks of all liquid diet pre op and I had 30 days of full liquids post op. You have to learn how to eat healthy and stick to your Drs orders. It can take months until the band is restricted enough to help and in between that time, its all you sticking to 1 cup of food 3 times a day.

I'm glad you are researching, that is the wises thing!

Best wishes!

Is this something your mother is willing to do? It is a significant life style change for many. I caution you that it is not a diet. Much of the work is done by the patient changing their lifestyle.

      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.
