Hi, my name is christina, I was banded on Nov 2, 2006. My Dr. R. Vohra out of South Nassau Hopsital on Long Island. I am very excited to have found this site. I look forward to learning about my fellow banders and the support that I will not only gain but hopfully give as well.

Christina, I was banded on Nov. 1. How are you doing so far? Good luck with the band. As they were getting me ready, I almost changed my mind and left the surgery center, I had already signed and changed clothes. Anyway, I guess I was nervous. Keep in touch, we can compare porgess, problems, weight loss, etc.

Hi Christina, welcome to LBT and congratulations on your surgery. You have made a wonderful decision to a new life and a healthier you. And, you have definitely found the right place for support and advice. I know this was one of the first sites I found when I first learned about the band. It has helped me through every step of my journey. Warning though, you will soon find yourself addicted to this board, lol. Anyways, if there is anything any of us can do, let us know.

Christina C you and I share the same band date. I have mine done in TJ on 11/2/06. Each day I am feeling stronger, tho the road is unsteady under my feet. Each cup of broth seems like an adventure. Life is getting better by the day. Lets stay intouch. CJay

      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.
