Bee,

I remember how excited I was . Now the excitement of seeing the smaller

I have my last appt with the surgeon this week 12/6/06. Can hardly wait for my surgery. I am hoping to have it done before the end of the year. Currently I weigh about 270+ (was 271 on my first visit to him, that was over a month ago). Dr. Paul Stanish in Merrillville, Indiana will be doing my surgery. I have put in alot of time doing research on Lap-Band and truly think that this is the tool I need to help me find a solution to my weight issues. I will post a before pic next week and then as time goes on will be back with after pics. Thanks for this wedsite.

      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.
