After Reading Everyone Elses Experience With The Lap-band Im Very Excited To Finally Have A Date Set. I'm A Little Worried Aboout That 30 Days After Sugery Where There Will Be No Restrictions For A Couple Of Weeks But I Just Can't Wait. I Think That Its Just A Dream And That Its Never Gonna Happen. Well Wish Me Luck!!

Good for you! I hope its a good experience for you. If you haven't heard about the Book Fighting Weight By K. Ali (One of Mohamed Ali's daughters) it is great. She is the new spokeperson for the Lap Band Co. It has good info. and tells her personal journey (and her surgeion's). Get it if you can. I got mine at Barnes and Nobel. It would make a good recovery read! Good luck!

Congrats! My surgery is June 21st. I have been reading all the post about no restrictions too and my advice would be to follow the diet the Dr. prescribed and think about the band. Practice eating for your new lifestyle. Chew, chew, chew...

I have the same date--tomorrow; I'm psyched. Friends keep asking me if I'm nervous--maybe I should be, but, just getting to this point, I've gone from size 22 jeans to 20's and I'm almost ready for 18's. Once upon a time, a very short time, mind you, I was in size 8's. I'm looking forward to that again. I wish you all the luck. We made a good decision. Keep us all posted.

      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.
