Julie, I've tried every magic potion on the market. If Green Tea worked, the world would be skinny. Most of us have fallen for every gimmick in the world, but the only real way to lose weight and maintain weight loss is by eating smaller, healthier portions, which is why we all either have, had or want a LapBand.

It is just yummy, and had plenty of anti-oxidants. I haven't heard that it helps with weightloss though. Sure hasn't helped me!

Man I wish I liked Green Tea. But alas, the black tea is all I can get down. I gotta have the CAFFEINE as I detest any type of coffee/cappacino/mocha whatever with a passion!

      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.
