hwat kind of pics? should I be asking for?

They should take some before pictures of you, if they haven't already. Trust me you will want to have those on hand. I lost almost 40 pounds and still didn't see it myself even though everyone else could. But once I actually looked at my before picture at the drs office, I couldn't believe I was actually THAT big! It was an eye opening experience. Good luck tomorrow, you will do fine. I think having this surgery was the best 17 grand I could have ever spent. I wish you the best on your lapband journey!

BTW you will probably be anxious no matter how much you try and relax. It is completely normal! I would suggest trying to fill your time, go out to a movie, take a bath, read some magazines. Anything to keep your mind off of it because the excitement can drive you crazy! lol

      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.
