Jeannie,

Wow, only 2 weeks away from getting the band! Have you found the Sugar Buster Diet pretty easy to follow? I have had such a great experience with Dr. Bagnato's office and I really like the nurse at the Obesity Clinic who did my fill. She was great about answering any questions I had and taking up a lot of time talking with me about how things are going. Keep up the good work!

The adoption is final. He is officially our littly boy (although he's been ours for months). Such a wonderful feeling. The 2 week old is not coming until Thursday morning at 11am. The CPS worker is unable to bring him today. This is really good. Now I can just enjoy today and our adoption of Dylan.

I am doing better as far as eating. I have gotten back on track. Hope things are going well for you too.

Congrats on the adoption! I am so happy for you! I'm glad to hear things are going good for you. I had my fill last thursday and I started eating solid foods on Sunday and I have no restriction. I go back on the 15th for another fill, so hopefully I will have restriction soon. Congratulations again and keep us posted about the baby that's coming on thursday. Good Luck and God Bless!

hi folks! I just wanted to introduce myself. I just got insurance approval for Lap Band today after a very long wait (my paperwork didn't get submitted right the first time). I'm so excited!!!:whoo:

I'm getting banded by Dr. Lin at Emory/Crawford Long in Atlanta. I don't have a sugery date yet, but I'm hoping it's before the end of the year.

I have PCOS too and considered just treating that condition surgically-- but was told cysts would return unless I treated the underlying condition...the weight/metabolic syndrome. I'm hoping that one day I will be free of extra weight and cysts!!! :clap2:

Good to meet you all!

Hi everyone!

I told all of you that I had a fill on the 1st and I was feeling no restriction at all. Well today, for whatever reason, I felt it. I've heard others say that it can take a coulple of weeks to kick in. I'm not sure if it was a freak thing or if I'm feeling restriction now. At least I'm feeling something, I was beginning to wonder if it was really in there.

      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.
