May seems to be a very popular month! Do you think the surgery is gaining approval or more people are hearing about it? I was at the hospital getting my Pre-Op done and there was a story on CNN on the tv in the waiting room about the lap band. I wanted to scream- "hey, that is what I am here for", but I stopped myself!:lol:

Hi, I'm May 7 and I'm on the 2 week liquid preop. Everyone said your not hungry after day 3. They are wrong, but I'm getting through. As it gets close I'm getting a little nervous.

I will get my band on May 13. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I've been lurking for the past month or so, just reading everything I can.

I'm also scared, excited, nervous all wrapped up into my 5 ft tall size.. :lol:

Hi

I have my PreOp lab work done on the 4th and surgery the next day. I have one concern--"I don't want to fail in losing weight one more time." I feel like this LB Forum will be such a help. I wasn't put on any diet pre surgery by my Dr. My Insur. has a Nurse you can call and she gives advice to Bariatric patients. She told me to cut down on portion size and drink lots of liquids.

Oh, and I got a Happy Birthday Wish Today from The Forum--Thank You dicev

      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.
