Hi...I am with you girl! I am scheduled to be banded on 1/10, and am soooo excited. I am 39, have been married 16 years, and have a 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Personally, 2007 has been the worst year of my life. Anything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong this year. 2008 is going to be the year for us both. I'll look out for you on the boards! Good luck!

Hi to you all,

I am also being done in January on the 16th. I am nervous and very excited about the changes it will bring. I can't seem to get enough of the forums. There are so many positives to having this surgery. There are some negatives but I think they are out weighed by the improvements the lap band can make to your health and life style. Good luck to every one.

      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.
