Hi Ky,

I'm glad you came for support. Sounds like you have your plate full with life. Are you in couseling for your PTSD? No need to go at this alone. I know I was told that stress will make the band tighter and it sounds like you are under a lot of stress. You need to take care of yourself and I think you have made the step in the right direction. Wish I lived close by and I could help out. *hugs*

thank you both so much!!!

I have a brillaint counsellor who has been in my world for the last 3 years, but I only started seeing her professionally about 6 months ago. She is my safe place in a world that feels so unsafe.....

getting me back in here makes me feel like I am taking accountability for Lola...I know all the tricks to cheat her, I suffer really bad head hunger and I need the support from others who have gone through the Lap band!!! Caribear...I am so sorry you have PTSD....It is something that stays with you forever, which you somehow manage!!

one of my fave sayings is when the world whispers give up, hope whispers try one more time.....so here I am trying!!!

xoxoxo

congratulations on your surgery! I actually purposefully stayed up really late last night and woke up early today (had to be there at 530) because I knew I would have problems sleeping otherwise.

are you having any gas pains?

Do take care of yourself and a good counselor will help! There is a light in your tunnel and I hope you can find yourself edging toward it soon. God bless

      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.
