Hi Lapband community, I only heard about you yesterday.

I was banded three years ago and then rebanded following prolapse of band and hiatus hernia this march.

I have lost 32 kilos:) and want to lose ten more but am finding it a bit hard going at the moment.

I am delighted a support group exists on the internet for people like us and look forward to communicating with some people,

Best wishes,

Lindey

Dear vegaswildflower,

Thankyou for your welcome. Isnt it wonderful to be on a weightloss programme that really works and to finally have hope of losing that self hatred that goes with morbid obesity. I have even bought some nice clothes,

LOL

Hi Lindey! I am so glad you found us. You will really find a tremendous amount of support here. I know most of us have wonderfully supportive families and such, but it is just not the same as being able to talk to other people who have the band and truly understand every emotion and physical feeling you are experiencing.

      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.
