Thanks to this forum I have learn quite a bit and so now I am proceeding with the next step by asking questions and meeting a potential surgon before I journey down to Mexico.

I hope that everyone who has had this done and wish they had asked questions before would tell me what to ask! Of course I'm sure that the usual stuff will be answered, but I know there are some hard questions, that should be asked and I what to know what they are.

So, They say hindsight is 20/20 and here is your oppurtunity to help some one with you wealth of expreience.

Hi, welcome to Lap Band Talk. I'm in San Antonio too. I went to my first seminar 1/19/08 and was banded 3/3/08. The seminar will cover so much info....take notes. Every question I could think of was answered there and I left there 100% sure I wanted to get banded. Where is your seminar at? Mine was at NE Baptist Hospital with Dr. Cavazos. Good luck to you and look forward to hearing about your journey. :blush:

      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.
