hello everyone !!!

Im Stephanie and im just starting the process on getting the lap band. i have always been big but when i had my twins it just got out of control. im a chef so that does not help b/c i eat b/c i love food :hungry: the taste, smell,feel. i dont eat b/c im sad i just love food. i have a great husband who doesnt care how big i am but of course would love a skinny wife:rolleyes: . im so tired ofthe word fat. people talking about being fat everyday its FATFATFATFAT. i want to be around for my kids and having blood pressure problems at the age of 23 isnt good. so thats why im going to get the lap band and would love anything you have to say about it.

      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.
