MargieM-- If I don't like the band, I will have it removed. It is worth trying as so many people on this site seem to like their band.

:welldoneclap: I know what you are saying but my doc also said that it is harder to put "in" the band than take it out...not that it can't be done...so, be sure you are ready before so that you don't Have to remove the band......

Just my thoughts! :Banane53: My date 5/28 is fast approaching!!! Yea!!:Banane44:

Wow I am the same weight and height as you. I went in for my consult already and they were telling me the same thing. I have just dveloped High Blood Pressure and the are watching me for that before I start taking medicine. But I can lose and then regain. I'm waiting on apporoval right now all paperwork has been sent in. I have started again trying to lose and exercisng. I said the same thing to my husband this weekend that maybe I should just try on my own since I havn't really been doing anythig the last few months. I have lost 6 pound this week and I keep saying to myself yes just keep trying this on your own. I have been going back and forth. But I wonder if I get a call saying I'm approved will I feel the same way.

Any way keep in touch and let us know what you deceide

      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.
