I just wanted to drop a note of thanks. I had been working on getting approved for my band for over a year. I virtually gave up. I was given the green light right around Thanksgiving and was banded last week(12/21).

I did not know this site existed until a week or so before my surgery. I have scan this site from top to bottom. What a great too we have with lapbandtalk.com.

But to all the Dec 07 banders.....

I have read through your experiences and prepared mysef through them. I know we are all different and our bodies respond differently, but you ahve all helped me more than you know. Just by posting threads for me to read through.

Thanks again and I can'twaint to Dec 08 when we can all really claim our title of Merry Lousers!

Ron,

We are all here to gain strength from one another. I'm sure that your posts will inspire others who are new to the site and thinking of being banded. Make sure you keep us up to date with your progress.

      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.
