It's hard especially at first. The weight loss is a great motivator but I also had to utilize the support group at my doc's office a lot for help. Later on I even saw a therapist to help me work through some things. It'll get better so just keep your chin up!

Thank you! My dr's office isn't offering much help! I just called the hospital to speak to the Nutritionalists;) so well see what happens

Well you just and surgery you are going to be weak and sore. That comes with any procedure that is done. You were cute on of course you are going to be sore and your weak because you were cut on and are on liquids right now. Its not going to be like this forever only a few weeks if that. Your doctors office don't have a support group for the lap band or a nutritionist?

Oh I see. Ok I went through true results and they offer all of that. I have an advocate I can call with any concerns. Maybe you can look around to join some support groups in your area. I am sure there are plenty. Im here just inbox me if you need any advice, help or just need to vent.

      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.
