WELCOME.

You're starting a wonderful journey - and remember... we sometimes have smooth bumps and bruises along our Lap Band journeys. But every one that you see on this forum (all those who are post-op) have survived it.

It's OK to be wary, but there is no reason to be frightened... because even those of us who had a little or a big issue - lived to tell about it.

Unfortunately, that's not always true of all Weight Loss Surgeries, but it's very true about LapBanding.

So - you have chosen a wonderful tool that is respected worldwide for it's ability to deliver us from obesity to normal-weight.

And it does it without having to re-section or re-route our intestines.

So good luck and enjoy your journey.

You'll do fine!

Hey banster boy it is good to see you. I am sorry to hear about the infection but we will have to just pray on that and watch it heal.

Well, where are the numbers, how much have you lost?

      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.
