Greetings from Aberdeen, WA....I am so happy to have found this site! The more information out here available the better off we all are! I was banded in Mexico 2 years ago this July. With little or no education it has been a interesting journey. Shortly I will be meeting with a doctor in my area that is doing lap-band surgeries and fills. What a blessing this will be...a local doctor for help & fills when needed!

Hoping to hear from any others from my neck of the woods...

Welcome Trixie!

I'm not from your neck of the woods but I do agree that this is a great site! It's easy to navigate and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I hope that your band has been working well for you!

Hi Trixie,

I am from the Seattle area. I pass by your town when heading out to the beach. It's nice to hear from someone in my neck of the woods. Lap bands have blossomed in our state and there are several places to get both the lap band and fills done now. How have you done with your lap band? Let us know how your appointment goes with the new doc.

Take Care ;)

      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.
