Hello all,

This is the second time I wrote this the other one just disappeared???? :embarassed: :faint:

Ok so I have been lurking alot and posting a litlle for the pass month or so. I heard about the lapband in dec of last year. I have done TONs of research and decided to do it.. I am a mother of three children under the age of 5 and a wife to a wonderful man. I am at the highest weight of my life right now and just ready to make a life change. ( I am 6'2 and 315lbs w/ BMI of 40) So today is my LCD day(life changing day) I am commited to changing all my old bad habits and making new ones. I have two appointments next week to see a psyc dr and a nutritionalist. once that done my doctor will file the ins. I am praying I get approved. I have united and have been told they are real good about approving. I am seeing Dr woodman in Memphis Tn. Anyone heard of him? Anyways just wanted to say thanks for all of your inspiration you all have offered and be prepaired I sure I will have LOTS of questions.. :help:

      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.
