Thank you God for giving me the strength to head in this direction! Surgery is scheduled for 2/21 and liquids start this Friday. My husband is a huge support system and will not let me stray. (not that I plan to )☺

I am so excited and so nervous to start this new adventure, and meet my new friend "the lap band" !! My tool, not my quick fix!!

All your stories have been so inspiring to me, thank you all and I wish you/me all the success!!

Happier Days are coming!!!!

The band is an answer to prayer for me also. last summer I was praying for guidance as to what program to use but all I would get Is"be still and Know that I am God" So I just waited to see what He was going to show me. Then in Aug. I had my regualr yearly physical and my DR. said she is going to referr be for WLS. With in a couple of days The hospital called and I went to the orintation and filled out all my forms. It seemed everything went so smoothly and my insurance cleared at first try. I was banded Jan7 and have lost 8 lbs plus the wieght I lost before surgery. May god bless your journey.

Thank you all for your kind words, I am very anxious about starting the liquids this Friday, but I plan to keep busy sewing and reading! I understand that the first 4 days are the toughest, I can handle that ☺

      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.
