Sue from Yankton,

I would like to hear how things are going for you. I am from a small town close to Yankton and didn't want to tell a lot of people about my decision to have the lap band surgery. Are you going to any support groups?

skminnie.......oh where are u from? I'm doing just great and feel really good. No I'm not going to any support groups because Sioux Falls is just to far to drive. Idon't think there is one around here anywhere. I'm still on full liquids, but never hungry anyways. I drink alot of liquids and that seems to be enough for me right now. I've lost 20 lbs already and it sure makes a difference I can't believe it. How are you doing? I hope good. HEY. lets keep in touch and we can be our own support group.........Heres my e-mail address.......s.klemp1949@hotmail.com..........thanks for caring....sue

I am from Springfield and I was considering going to a support group in Mitchell. THis just isn't something that you can talk to your friends about. I doubt that many of mine would understand. I am 6 days post surgery and feeling stronger everyday.

      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.
