Welcome Madam. I believe we've exchanged a few discussions at OH. I think you'll find this forum a bit more experienced, down to earth and whole lot easier to get around in. Everyone here is very helpful and not so tied up in 'who knows best', but in how we all as a group can succeed by sharing. I like that.

Please feel free to browse all the sections as there is an abundance of help and information already here. Again, welcome!

Hi guys,

thank you for the welcome. Leatha I am so happy to see a familiar face here. Now I can spend the next 2 weeks before surgery learning this site. I feel more comfortable here already.

click on 'user cp' at the top right of your page. your user prefs are there as well as the option to add a signature and avatar photo. if you don't know how to add the photo, some of us can help you resize one if you'll send one that has a pretty close-up face shot.

good luck!

Thank you Leatha,

I figured out how to do it. I will add a permanent picture later but chose fred flintstone because of my user name of madame yess.

I am a flintstone fanatic and my all time favorite episode was the one with Dr. Sinister in a James Bond (Bondrock) spoof. Madame yess was one of the main characters that continuously led fred and barney into impossible situations. Lol

Anyway thank you for your quick response and help.

I am reading through past posts and loving it. You are right this is a more down to earth site that seemingly allow others to say what they feel without the know it all attitude. What I also like is that everyone are responded to and not just a choice few. Thank you again.

Sometimes you just have to find a "home" and this place is a great home.

Sending strong wishes for a uneventful surgery and a fantastic recovery.

Everyone will be here for you on your journey. Even me who is just beginning.

Welcome MadameYess!

I'm on the net quite a bit, and I have to say that of all the websites and forums I have visited concerning the lapband, this is by far the best site I have found.

Lots of support and very knowledged bandees here.

Keep us informed on your banded journey, it will be here before you know it - Heck, you've already started your journey, you made the decision and have a date set, you're almost there! :mad:

      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.
