Hello all

I am new to this group. I am having Lap Band surgery 8 Sep at OSU. I have been working on this for 14 mos so as the time gets nearer I am more anxious and excited.

I enjoy the support boards because of the excellent information received. Hope to be here often.

Thanks

Sandy

Woo, Sandy, that's next Wednesday! I bet you're going through a rollercoaster of emotions right now! Excited, scared, afraid you'll be the only one to fail. But you'll do great! Best of luck to you!:)

Welcome Sandy!

Your surgery date will be here in no time. Everyone seems to have a different experience to share following their surgery. Here's to your's being smooth sailing.

Take care and try not to stress yourself out too much. It will all be worth it in the end.

I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. :)

      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.
