Hello Friends!

My name is Tracey and I am from Arizona. I am having my lap band surgery on December 28th. I am looking forward to it, but a little nervous.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone!

Hi Tracey, and welcome to LBT! Wow, your date is getting close. Does your doctor have you on a liquid diet? Let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help and support one another.

Hi Susan-

Thanks for your response!

Yes, I am on that awful liquid diet! I have the most HORRIBLE headache today from it too!

How long after op. did you have a 'full' feeling when you ate? How long did it take for you to be able to eat 'normal' foods (I really want some hummus!)

Thanks again-Tracey

I am in Texas and going to Monterrrey for the surgery on the 28th. I'm in the anxious-nervous-excited stage!

Hi There Neighbor!

I am going to the Weight Loss Institute in Tempe. They are higher priced, but it includes 3 years of monthly support groups, pre and post counseling, free personal trainer for 3 years and all your doctor visits. I felt comfortable with my surgeon.

I live in Queen Creek! How far along are you in the process?

Merry Christmas Tracey and to all who read this.

Tracey, I live in Prescott and will be banded on 1/31/2008. So I will be really interested in hearing from you on how the LB is going. I am having it done at Scottsdale Shea. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you have a very successful journey!

      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.
