Hello!!! :thumbdown: Welcome to LBT!! I understand you wanting to live completely. I'm 22 and I have never really lived...have a BMI of 60. I hope you can start your journey soon! Hope to hear from you again when you find out more information or have questions/thoughts.:smile:

I remember being in that stage of the banding process , when it was just a thought. I am just here to tell you how wonderful it is... I was so nervous to do it and even had a hard time to believe it would work for me since nothing had ever been sucessful. You can do it !!!! You should check into it asap because there is alot of work to do before you can get the surgery.. meetings and appointments to complete the required things. That way you can learn as you go to see if it is right for you. Just know that you can do it if you put your mind to it !

      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.
