Hi everyone I am new to this site. I was banded 8/16/06 By Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. The whole experiance was a very possitive one and I am so glad I picked Dr. Ortiz. His people pick you up at the airport in San Diego and took my wife and I to a very nice hotel in TJ. After it is all over they returned us to the airport. I lost 20 lbs. as instructed before the implant and 10 lbs since. :(

Go under General Lap Band discussion, find the thread August Band Crew and hit last page (unless you want to read all of the posts), then hit post reply in the bottom left hand corner. Have fun, it's nice to see how others are progressing also.

      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.
