I just received the call from Heads Up today that I've been selected for the lapband procedure. Nervous and excited!!

Hi Shelley. I had the lap band surgery last August. It was painless and recovery was fast. My best friend is scheduled to have it done on 8/22/13. She's nervous& excited as well. I've lost 50 lbs. so far however now I'm struggling with proper diet, exercise, etc. it's a great feeling when everyone comments on your appearance.

The program is a joint effort with the State of Louisiana through the office of group benefits and Pennington biomedical research center. Here is the site: https://headsup.pbrc.edu/

      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?

      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.
