Hi Everyone :huggie:

I received my surgery date today, Feb. 12th ! I am so excited and ready for this. While at my appointment today, I met a real nice woman named Kirsten who recently got the lapband herself. While waiting in the room, we were talking and she told me all about this forum. She told me how supportive and great it is, so i decided to join! I'm happy that i did.

I will be having my surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston, Mass.

Hopefully she will read this post - Thanks again!!

Kelsy, welcome and congratulations on your surgery date. I'm glad Kirsten recommended LBT to you. This is indeed a great place for support and information. I don't know if there's a Feb bandsters thread going yet. Take a look, if you don't find one start it yourself!

      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.
