hello. i just signed up and my lapband surgery is a week from today.

i'm on the 10 day liquid diet now. today is day 3. i've been exercising a lot more; walking, swimming, gardening, moving around more in general.

i've been jumping thru hoops since february. i should have lost about 50 lbs just jumping thru all those hoops. :)

i'm hungry yet excited to get going!

Oh, how exciting for you!!! That's a long time to wait! Buckle your seatbelt! It's a wild ride (but a great one)! :)

that is very true! i have read where some patients have felt like they

were done a disservice by their dr. for not having them on the liquid diet before surgery. i think it's a great way to get used to it... today is day #4 and i still feel a little bit hungry but i'm hanging in there.

i'm not so sensitive about others eating around me anymore either.

i'm going to totally appreciate it when i can have more than liquids! :hungry::ranger:

      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.
