akirrastar, sorry it seems like so long ago I was on phase 1 but I guess just eggs or maybe an omelet with veggies and cheese in it. Get used to it is cause you always eat Protein first once you are banded.

Luckyclover4u, I live on Seneca up the street from St. Teresas in the former South Presbyterian Church. To bad you still dont live on Seneca Street.

Hey everyone else.....there is a lapband conference at the LaGuardia Airport Marriott March 21st. If you are interested, early bird registration saves $50 but you must register by January 19th. I am registerred and looking forward to going.

I found it was really easy to make a couple scrambled eggs with cheese on them. I always said I never had time for breakfast but i found it literally dsnt take more than 2-3 minutes. Sometimes I would chop up some green/red peppers ahead of time & saved them in the fridge & then just took a little as needed. That helped to save time in the morning. Or I liked to take 1-2 slices of l/fat deli meat (no bread) & just put a little bit of mayo, a piece of romaine lettuce & slice of red pepper & roll it up. Those were pretty good & easy to eat on the go. At the very least maybe grab a handful of unsalted nuts. I always tried to have a piece of part skim string cheese on hand. It helped to fill me up a little when I would be dying to grab something quick & easy from the dreaded vending machine at work...hope this helps a little.

I called to change my next appointment because they called me and told me that Dr. Hoffman wouldn't be in tomorrow, etc. so I thought that meant no appointment! Well, that just meant I'd be with Laurie...but I'd made other plans tomorrow! SO I couldn't get an appointment until February 3rd!!!! Can't believe it! Anyway, Malissa did say that The Hoff may start having Wednesday appointments to deal with the overload, so who knows I might get in more quickly if he gets the approval for Wednesdays. Are they hiring another doc or what? Poor Hoff and Posner must be DYING!

I am going to the seminar today. I have been waiting along time and am super excited :thumbs_up: I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Dr Hoffman. But My PCP knows Dr Posner and wants me to see him. How is Dr Posner?

BetsyLynne; both docs are great---this thread just happened to start as a Hoffman lovefest. :cool: :regular_smile: But Posner is just as qualified, etc. but Hoffman does lap bands exclusively. Dr. Posner also does gastric bypass.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
