Hey all

Just found out I was approved for my surgery on 1/23. I am so excited and nervous. Having a hard time with the liquid diet. Still hungry most of the time. Can't wait to be on the other side with you post-oper's :)

Quick update. I went into surgery around 11:00. I have been continuously in and out of sleep. I feel much. Better than I thought I would. No throwing up or anything. No pain really, but I feel lots of pressure in my upper stomach area. Mouth and throat are very dry. Just got a wave of nausea. I'll write more later.

Thanks for getting back to me. I also had the lap band but due to complications and pain I had it removed in October 2012. I too had it for 3 years. It was the worst three years of my life. We are around the same age I am 25. I don't yet have a surgery date. Where did you have your surgery done? I'm going through Lancaster general. How are you doing since your surgery?

I had my surgery on 1/9/2013, I feel great no problems keeping things down still on full liquids. In morning I have breakfasts shake, chocolate, vanilla and apricot pineapple. For my snack I make Jello with whey Protein (sugar free) you can get small 4 oz containers. So you get some protein with your Snacks. lunch and dinner I have two Soups I eat. I have lost almost 20lbs, over 1" in my waist and that's just a guess; probably more. Any advice I can give someone is to follow your plan and take it slow.

      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.
