I have my Lapband put in tomorrow! I'm excited, nervous, scared, and anxious all at the same time. I look forward to connecting to some of you guys for support, recipes, and an occasional "you can do it!".....

Thanks!

Hooray! Good for you! I had mine on June 20th and am doing great. I was scared and very nervous too, right up until they knocked me out for the surgery I was wondering if I was doing the right thing-- and now I'm so happy I did it! The best words ever, "Wake up, your surgery is over!" lol

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Going for my first fill. :) Best wishes!!!! :)

Good luck!! make sure you ask them for meds to help with the gas relief. It's a hard process but it can be done.

Great! Really feeling much more in control of myself and the confidence of doing this "by the book" has helped me shake some (not all) of my nerves about the next step after Thursday!

I made it through this morning..... I'm not going to lie when I got to the hospital I was seriously rethinking this! I made it through and it went quickly..... they told my hubs I was asking could I walk when they woke me up.

I'm sore....but I KNOW it was the right thing for me. I had not weighed during my liquid diet.....but when they weighed me I was 15 down...yay.

I'll update more soon! Thanks for thoughts and encouragement!

Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side i had my surgery 20 days ago. The only thing i remember is saying bye to my hub then being wheeled off in the stretcher, but i also for some reason remember a big huge bright light not sure if i woke up during surgery or was still a little woke right before but thats all,

I had a rough first 7 days with the gas and pain, but at day 8 it was like it never happened. I was.back to normal. Remember it gets better and if you have a question there are lots of people here to ask. Not one question is a dumb question.

      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.
