Have a safe trip Lila.....It will be over in no time and it won't be long before we are sharing banded experiences. I hope you have enough time to walk around Yorkville before your surgery.....it is wonderful...I had my last lunch at Puseteries and my last dinner at Yamato's Sushi house (all in Yorkville) the night before the surgery.

Yorkville was my hangout in the late 60's, early 70's. It was quite different then.....it was where all the hippies in Toronto hungout with our love beads, fur vests, peace signs, and Jesus sandals. Now, if you don't have $5.00 to buy a cup of Yorkville coffee then you might as well go home......LOL

Good luck, you'll make out just fine

Has anyone heard from Lila or Dianne? Just wondering how they made out with their surgery

Carol

Hello, and thanks to all of you for your well wishes. I have not yet heard from Lila, but I personally am doing OK. The lap band is doing fine, I can barely feel it. What is causing me pain is the hiatal hernia that showed up. The doc fixed it and everyday I seem to be getting around better. I am having difficulty getting the Protein drink down, the smell of it actually turns my stomach. I have several kinds, but the variety is not helping. Maybe once I can trow a little banana in it will help. I am also not a big fan of shots, and I have to get one every 8 hours. My sweetie pie is hating having to give them to me. I have to get off here and get some form of Protein in so I will post more later.

TTYAS,

      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.
