:rose: My surgery is also January 8th in Nashville. I agree with you, I'm not worried about the new year's resolution. I'm excited about making a goal and keeping the weight off.

Merry Christmas to All:clap2:

flip.... I see your goal you set for your weight.. Did the doctor tell you a certain weight or did you decide that? I've heard some talk about the 'average' and some told by their doctor a certain weight they will achieve. I want to be realistic here, but 175# sounds great to me.. currently 365, medium frame- I've been told, 5'9" . so I'm anxious to hear if they will tell me a weight that is reasonable. I don't want to set myself up for failure if I can't realistically get there to begin with

Merry Christmas all....

Hi all,

I am being banded on the 16th January and I am nervous and very excited at the same time. It has been hard not telling anyone other than my husband as I don't want people asking me every 5 minutes how much weight I have lost and if I can eat that on my "diet". I bet you have all been there before as well. Ithink I want to make sure it works for me before I say any thing to other people. Good luck to every one(including me).;)

Hey fellow Jan. 08 Bandsters! Come on over to the Monthly Lapband support forum just for January Bandsters. It's a place just for our month where we can share our experiences with those who are getting the band around the same time! Looking forward to seeing you there. There's a poll that's closing tomorrow night to vote on our "group name" so come and vote! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi! My tentatively scheduled surgery date is January 30th! This is of course assuming all is well regarding the response from insurance. I can't wait!

      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.
