Hi, I'm in Cedar Park and would love to meet up. I'm afraid I'm part of the 10% that lap band doesn't work for or hasn't worked for but I'd love to find support and a ways to help lose weight. Also, would love to find a new doctor.

I got my surgery Lapband on oct. 22 2012 and I a very happy I did. Here have been no complications no nausea or pain. Went off pain meds by the 4 day and got back into my life by week two. Which involves running around to fe my ds to school,therphy and swim 3 days a week and laundry,dishese house Work and all meals. I get tired quickly though. Still on cream Soups and Protein Shakes. Sometimes try real food like eyes and yogurt.

      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.
