Hope this is the right place to post this. I haven't had a lap band done,YET. I am having my first visit with the nurse next week. I am both excited and nervous. I have been reading about everyones experiences and find them very inspirational. I live on the Gold Coast in Qld Australia. I just wanted to say keep up the good work to all of you who have had it done.:clap2:

Well, it appears I am in the right place! I am almost done with my six month program and will be having the lap band surgery the second week of December. I can't wait to read what you are writing. I am getting a little nervous :(

Hi Trish, you will have your surgery way before me. I don't think I can have it until after Christmas as I have so many things on at the moment. A wedding, a trip to New Zealand and away for Christmas. I just want it now though! You will be able to tell me how it goes.

      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.
