Hiya everyone!

I was SO happy when i found this site! So many other people who i could chat to about lap band surgery!

I had my band fitted on Wednesday so as you can imagine i am dying to chat to someone and share stories!

Just to let you know more about me, my name is Olivia, i'm 24 from London. I arranged my surgery with Transform and Professor Hakim performed my surgery.

I would be happy to hear from anyone who wants to share stories or ask me anything etc... Feel free to contact me!

Hope to talk to you soon!

Liv

Hi Liv.

Congratulations on your banding and welcome to LBT. I hope you had an easy time with your surgery and that your recovery is going smoothly. I've only been banded three months but I am thrilled with it so far. I go for my second fill on Wednesday, July 12th. I went shopping recently and bought new clothes 2 and 3 sizes smaller than what I was presently wearing. Who would of thought?!?!

I forgot to add that I love London! I was there on vacation for the first time a few years ago and intend on going back again.

      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.
