Hugs and many prayers have been sent for the both of you. Keep the faith and everything will be okay. YOU will both learn and will be happy on your new hourney together. Please don't make this a contest with each other, but a learning experience for the two of you. Since each body is different, one of you may adapt a certain pattern that will not work for the other. I'm looking at this as a motivation from within for each other.

Mom and daughter a BIG HUG for both of you.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

God bless you both. Having a partner to keep you motivated is great. My daughter had her lapband done 2 weeks after me, and my son had his done 1 1/2 years later. Now, my son-in-law had his done this past November. We are a 4 lapband family. Best wishes and God speed to recovery!!!What a way to start the New Year!!!

My daughter and I had our surgery May 2011 on the same day. It has really be nice to be able to encourage each other. We live 2 hours away from the Dr. so it is great to be able to go together (plus she drives and I don't have to).

      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.
