I have been saying for the last year I need to get one but I still haven't yet. (yeah, I know, I'm procrastinating foolishly)

For now, I have my Lap Band ID card right behind my license. I figure this way if I'm in an accident and they go for my ID they'll see that Lap Band card too.

I think this is a great idea but unfortunately I don't have one. I don't even have a LapBand ID card which I will talk to my doctor about. I did, however, google medical ID cards and I found a website that I was able to fill in my information in and I printed it out and put it with my license and insurance cards. It lists on there that I have LapBand and it helped put me at ease. Just a suggestion :)

      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.
