Looks like we've all moved over to the ABC (for August Band Crew) September Chat thread on the LapBand Support forum. Come on over everyone! Maybe a moderator can lock this one so we don't have to keep going back and forth?

I Am 12 Post Sx. The Only Problem I Had Was In The Recovery Room When I Was Nauseaus And Threw Up A Couple Of Times. By The Time I Was Home I Felt Great. Other Than Tender Tummy, I Feel The Same. I Feel So Blessed That I Have A Second Chance On Life. I Went To Work On The 4th Day And Felt Ok. The Next Day I Was Dizzy And Nauseaus Again. Went Home And Called The Dr. Seemed I Was In The First Stage Of Dehydration. That Is The Only Problem I Have. Trying To Get 64 Oz Of Water Down. It That Is The Only Problem I Have I Am Very Very Lucky!!

I Have Lost All The Weight From The Sx For I Did Gain 7 Lbs, Plus 7 More. I Am Eating And Drinking What I Am Suppost To And Have Gained 2 Lbs. I Understand That It Is A Time Of Healing But It Is Very Hard Not To Want To See The Weight Come Off After Sx. I Need To Just Be Patient!! I Have Always Been Too Hard On Myself.

Robin.....are You Planning To Go The The Support Group Meetings At Dr Spivak's? I Will Probably Do So In Two Thurs. Hope To Meet You There.

Hi everyone I would like to sign up on the August Band Crew. I was banded 8/16/06 by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico. So far I am doing very well with the band and am about ready for my first fill. When I made my appointment to be banded I weighed 385. I had to loose 20lbs. before surgery and have lost 17 more since I was banded. I am glad to be on your crew...Richard Evans

      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.
