Hello Everyone :0)

I Read Up On Lapband And Have Now Decided It Maybe For Me. Looks Like It's 99.9% Risk Free...i Go To My Seminar On April 19th...i Was Been Supposed To Attend But They Kept Canceling It. I Was Expecting To Be Banded By The Summer...hopefully I Will. I Know I Wont Reach My Goal Weight This Summer But Next Summer Hopefully I Can Be Rockin. I Am Concered About Scars...i Have Light stretch marks Already But I Dont Want A Major Scar Like Gastric Bypass.

Pray For Me Everyone....lets Hope This Is The Answer To My Prayers Of 20yrs...i'm Tired Of Being The Laughing Stalk Or Outcast When I Go Places. I Want To Be Happy And Look Normal. Of Course Like Many Of You Here I Tried All The Prgrams..atkins Was My Most Successful To Date But Im Tired Of The Slowwww Progression And Eating The Samethings. There Is One Person Who Thinks I Should Stay 454 Pounds...got To Be Kidding Right? This Person Tries To Tell Me I Can Be Big And Healthy....enough Is Enough.

Wish Me Luck!

Good luck. It's been the best for me but I am rather new. Maybe you should chat with some of the folks that have experienced this from the

higher BMI's. Just ask, they'll answer!

      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.
