Wow I had my first Dr's appointment a month ago...and I will have the procedure in 2 weeks. I am kind of scared; however, I have a lot of faith in my Doctor.

I read so many "stories" that scare me...I have weighed the side affects of obesity to those of the procedure and really I do not feel I have much of a choice. Most of the successful people have really followed the rules and advice from their Dr's faithfully .

I had made up my mind to pursue lap band surgery June 1st. I hadn't even gone to a seminar at that point. And now I am having my surgery August 1st. I too am scared sh**less. But I'm more scared of bieng a fatty/diabetic/blind/losing limbs. We are all making the right decision. Best of luck to you. :nervous

      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.
