I'm going to be on the loser's bench too. If they send you home same day but your insurance allows the second day stay, would anyone out there recommend staying?

Count me in! I'm scheduled for the 25th. I start the pre-op diet on Monday. Two long weeks of Opti-Fast. That should be challenging. My surgeon also wants me to do 2 more weeks of opti-fast after the surgery. I'm not necessarily nervous about the surgery itself; just hoping this works for me. I plan on being very patient since I understand that it takes a little while for you to actually start losing. I'm anxious to hear how the weigh loss goes for you guys that are ahead of me.

Good luck for everyone with upcoming surgeries!

Hi I'm Angie (angie61). I'm having my surgery on July 30!!!! Very excited, but it seems a long way off. What are double V's? and how can I post a new thread? I'm really trying hard to figure out this site. I don't have much time this morning and I'm puzzled as to how to get to everything a little faster than I AM doing... I posted a new message a few min. ago and I have no idea if it went "through" or not and/orhow to read the reply(s) if any. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Angie. First off, congrats on your surgery date and best of luck with the surgery and new life.

Probably the best place for you to post is going to be this section - July 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum. It's the section for people who are going to have their surgery in July of 2008.

VVs or Double Vs or Victorious Valentines are the names the people who had their surgery in February 2008 use. That happens to be the section you posted in. No biggie cause we're all really in the same Lap Band boat. :grouphug:

      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.
