I am from Akron, Ohio, where I was first banded in January of 2009 ( I think--I'm vague about dates). I lost without regaining over 60 pounds and cut my insulin, Lasix, and BP meds in half, but early this year started vomiting a lot. My GI doctor ordered upper GI work and said that my band had slipped. I went to my original surgeon, who removed my fill an ordered a second GI series, then announced that the band had not slipped, it had just repositioned itself. He gave me several options. I chose to have him remove the band and replace it, which he did on July 29. He also found a hiatal hernia. Between removal of the band and port, inserting new band and port, and fixing the hernia,I was in pain--more pain than when I;ve had toes amputated. Fortunately he kept me in the hospital 2 nights because I am an old woman who lives alone. Although I had requested that the nutritionist talk to me and give me all the information she would have given if I were a newbie, she hasn't talked to me yet; therefore, I am pretty dependent on the new lapband book. I start my mushies tomorrow. Yippee! I am delighted to have found this web site. I'd like to lose 15 or 20 pounds more, but we'll see..

      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.
