My name is Ada and I just got lap-band surgery almost two weeks ago and I have really no one to talk to about it so I was excited to find this forum. It's been hard because I am just feeling down, not about the surgery but I just have no one to talk to like I said.

Anyway, I hope to see you all around.

Hi Adabell,

Welcome to LBT! :ranger: You never have to be alone when you are on this forum. You will find many friends here that will help you on your way and if you need someone else to talk to just pm me and I will try to help. I have suffered from depression for about 15 years so I do understand how you feel.

Take care,

shelli:girl_hug:

Hi Ada, Welcome & Congratulations on your band and weight loss.

Sorry that you are feeling alone but you don't have to worry about that now that you have found us here @ LBT. I don't have my band yet but I have found this site to be most helpful as I move through the process towards getting it.

Well, if you need someone to talk to you have come to the right place! Welcome, and feel free to bear your soul whenever the need arises. Everyone is very supportive and understanding from what I have seen so far. I am a big talker and have discussed the plan to be banded Oct. 1 with all of my co-workers and family so it feels great to talk about it. My DH, on the other hand wants to keep his band private and has not told his co-workers or family of his plans. To each his own, right? Welcome! and I am looking forward to talking to you 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.
