Hi Annie!

I'm sorry it took so long to reply to you...I have been a little sick and was not on the site much. I hope this finds you well! How did your first doctor appointment go? Where are you going? I'm going to Dr. Karl Strom at Bayshore Hospital in Holmdel, NJ. Are you scared of the surgery? Is that what you mean? I'm a little nervous myself...but know I have to do something. My knees have blown out due to my weight, and my time for dieting my own way is done...I have to look at the surgery as a blessing...another chance to strart fresh. Please let me know how you made out...I will respond sooner. Thanks, God bless, and remember...we can do it! :) Kathleen

Hi All, I am hoping my date will be in April. I went to my first appointment Jan 29. My Psyc and Nutr is on Feb 20 and my last appointment will be March 18th. Hopefully, It will be mid-April. I am also going for surgery for carpal tunnel on April 5th. So I am hoping, the time I will have to take off of work, will also cover the time for lap band surgery. Good luck to all of you!

      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.
