Hi there. My name is Tatiana I'm from Dallas, Tx. I'm scheduled for my LapBand on July 24th. This seems like a great group so I though I would join the chat. :)

I got my date. I get banded July 8th. I start preop diet tomorrow. I am really excited and a little nervous. :)

How was/is preop treating you? Your date is right around the corner! How exciting :)

I've decided to start my preop a week early, well a week and two days to be precise. I was eating so well and dropping weight slowly but went back to old habits and may have gained a few pounds. So I figured an extra week of preop won't hurt and will help in the long run :)

How is everyone going? It's already a week into July, it's crazy!

Thank you! Your the first person I have seen with the same date :). You know mostly just a lot of research and I have been reading a book true results have me. Mostly I'm just ready! I start my pre-op diet on the 10th. How about you?

Congrats to all of us for making this decision to better our lives. I finally have a surgery date of July 16th. I start my high Protein low card diet today until surgery. I am nervous and excited at the same time. But I have a great support system behind me and this forum is also very helpful.

Hi all, I was banded on the 1st July! So day 6 post op. Best thing I ever did so far! On liquid diet still and not much hunger at all. How is everyone getting on with their pre op diet? I had to do mine for 10 days prior to surgery xx

      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.
