hi, i'm karin and i had the lapbanding done 03/07 -i am currently down almost 40 lbs. My goal originally was to lose 60 lbs the first year and it looks like i will make it. i wish i were more disciplined and could exceed my goal. but my blood pressure is way down and i don't have to take medication for that anymore!! :clap2:

I had my banding done at Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, Michigan by Dr Jon Schram.

Hi,

I had mu surgery 6/1 and I have lost 54 lbs, its a struggle as I still have problems with knowing which foods my stomach can handle.. I just wished I had this procedure a few years ago, as I haven't felt this good in quite awhile.. My surgeon is the infamous Dr George Woodman, here in Memphis.

:whoo:

      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.
