I'm a newcomer and learning as much as I can absorb! :rolleyes: My lapband surgery date is set for April 19th and happily joining me to have the same surgery the same day is my sister-n-law! :thumbup: WE can really support each other and I am looking forward to that relationship with her. My Dad is scheduled for his on May 28th. :thumbup: He is staying in Atlanta for his with insurance paying, but we girls are flying to Mexico for an adventure! :scared2: I will begin the pre-diet on the 12th, and praying for a flight that is easy on an empty stomach, we will fly out on the morning of the surgery and go straight to the hospital for the testing and procedure. Prayers are all I need and God will bless us both! :redface: Let me know what I might expect if you have been through this stage. :wink:

Good for you. Where are you going in Mexico? I went to Monterrey. It was wonderful. The Drs. were great. They came and checked on me everyday. The flight home was not bad. Get an extender from the flight attendent. Check before you go about where you are going to get a fill. I have to drive 5 hours because no one here will tough me because I had surgery out of the country.

      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.
