Congratulations!. Means you'll probably have to fast during Christmas season. I started 2 months early from band date to lose 34 pounds prior to band day. For the doctors fast, I was suppose to lose 12 pounds and I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery. Just yesterday (Dec 11) I had my third fill of 1cc.I had to beg for this fill because i met his 2 pounds per week poal. I probably won't get any more fills. He's very conservative docotr. He wants you to attack your weight problem and not rely on the band. He says 2 pounds a week is great. If you lose lots more, NO fills.

Best wishes

Congratulations! Stick around here for support, knowledge & inspiration.

Someone on the forum said to write a letter to yourself on why LBS is important to you and what you expect from it. Then when times get tough, which it will, you can go back and remind yourself why you wanted this. Thought that was a good idea.

You have to have WANT POWER!

Best Wishes!

      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.
