sometimes i don't get responses to but that's okay. i am so glad i found this site. I know more about the lapband than they

ever told me going into this. i am 5 weeks post op and have lost 17 pounds. (13 according to the surgeon's scale) :eek: started at 282, now i weigh 265. i walk a mile a day and really watch what i eat. i read labels like crazy. i love how i feel now that i am taking care of me!. any new banders reading this, keep your head up and keep reading the positive post on this site. (be careful reading the negative). and yes, the band will work for you but you have to take the incentive to make it work!!!!!

This site moves really fast, if you don't get a response the first time, ask again! Or bump the original question. I have had to do that before, especially in the most popular segments within the site.

But hey you got it goin' now!!!

      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.
