Hey everyone, My name is Amine and I'm a new person on here and wanted to say hello to everyone!! I'm currently going through the process for getting a lap band. I had my initial consultation last week and it went extremely well. I have my psych evaluation, meet with a nutrionist and get my physical. What do I need to expect for my 3 in 1 appointment?

They scheduled my appointments together for some reason lol. Psyhicatric evaluation, a psychical (haven't had one in a few years lol) and I meet with a nurtionist/dietician. I would rather knock as much as I can and get my stuff submitted!!

Welcome to the forum! You've come to a great site for support, inspiration and knowledge about the Lapband.

Everyone here has had different insurance requirements, so kinda hard to comment on what you have to do. I myself had to do a 6mth suoervised diet, so I had plenty of time to have all the other requirements completed.

Good luck on your LB journey!

      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.
