Hi Everyone,

I am interested in joining as well. Live in Lake Forest work in Brea. I am getting banded May 9th (this Weds) by Dr. Nguyen at UCI Medical Center. Just started my 3 day liquid diet and having major caffeine withdrawals. But would love to meet others and share the experience.

Hey, Vikki, I sent you an email -- did you get it? I haven't received anything from you. I'm on vacation right now but I am checking my emails.

Hey Kitty!

Welcome to Lapband! I had Dr. Nguyen at UCI as well. I'm going in tomorrow for my first fill. I'm really excited about it.

I hope to meet you at the UCI support groups and of course at the June get together as well!

Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted! Send me an e-mail if you want to talk some more. :)

      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.
