Thanks daysfan012. I had such a rough day yesterday I wasn't sure if I could go through with this, the hunger pains and constant headache were getting to be too much. Have to admit I did wake up feeling better today and even more so when I weighed myself......lost 8 lbs. in five days! That just made everything worth it. Hope you are doing well and don't have to delay your surgery too long.

Hi bandaid mom I'm getting ready for Lapband. Because of body not being to exercise I have to go on 1200 calorie diet for 2 weeks and go from there. I'm 62 and sometimes I think I'm 2 old but I weigh 225 and 5.1 so I think my quality of life should get better. Prednisone helped me get here so I'll keep you posted when I get approved for surgery. Best of luck to you and your 2 daughters.

Wooohooo all done and went extremely well! Day 1 was the worst and not as bad as anticipated. All 3 of us had our last dose of pain meds less than 2r hrs after surgery. Even soreness is pretty much gone this am. We have been moving alot though so we dont get stiff. All in all not anywhere near as bad as i thought it would be!

      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.
