Hi there! I'm probably not supposed to post an introduction in this spot, but wanted to say hello ;) I'm new to lapbandtalk - just found you all today! LOVE it!! I live in Kent, and am scheduled for the band on 8/8/06 ... 2 weeks and one day!! Fridge is stocked with Costco's version of Slimfast to start the pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, with tonight being the offical "last supper" at a steak place :hungry: I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself!! (Excited about the surgery, not the steak dinner :phanvan ). Of course I also just found an "I regret my lapband" thread someplace (might not be on this site), and am a little nervous, but trying to stay focused on the goodness. Anyway, that's me! I'd love to hear from you all - thank you!

Hi Catey! One of my S-i-Ls lives in Kent. I spent most of my summers in the Kent highlands, up near Black diamond....

Anyway, who are you going with for your surgery?

      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.
