Hi Everyone,

I am a new member and I am VERY EXCITED to be here with you all and VERY EXCITED to be scheduled for my lapband on May 27; day after Memorial Day. Doesn't that suck!!?? Anywhobewhattie, I am going on my 5 day liquid pre-op diet starting that thursday before all the way til my surgery that tuesday. OH WELL!!! Are there anymore May 27th 2008 scheduled bandsters out there??? Oh, oh question -How do I create my weight scale thingamajigger? I've been reading a lot of threads for the past few weeks and had to pull myself from this site because some members had me "SCURED" with some of the after effects of the surgery. But, i'm back, still committed and even more so determined. If I don't get this surgery, instead of being called sunshinelady, they are going to call me postallady:cursing:!!!!!! DO YOU ALL HEAR ME??!!!!!!!!

Thank you for letting me introduce myself(did I really?) and I hope to get some good old fashioned bandster feed back from you all.

Hi and welcome to LBT! Only a couple of more weeks until you are an official bandster, YEA!!

Don't be scared by the complications threads. Remember, people who have problems come here for support. The majority, who are not having problems tend to fade away from the boards after a while and are out living their lives and enjoying their new health.

Here is the thread for how to add a ticker to your signature:

Keep us posted on how things are going. We are excited to get to know you better.

      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.
