I am newly banded 12/27/06, best thing I ever did for myself. I have been looking for a support/chat site for lapbanders, I have one for my pacemaker and the information and support have been awesome. Good luck to all you future banders, I hope your experience is as good as mine has been so far. I was scared to death because I have a pretty bad heart problem and some other health issues, but I realized if I didn't make a change, I would not be around much longer anyway. So, I prayed real hard and God did the rest. I have lost 37 pounds and my energy level is amazing! I never thought I would ever feel this good again. I have four kids, a husband and a full time job. This has taken some planning and some work, but has really been easy, and did I mention my energy level?? I feel great! Anyway, good luck to everyone.

      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.
