I am doing okay. Only down 13 lbs but since my pre-op appt. I went out to eat tonight - kobe. I only ate so little compared to what I use to. I still feel like I ate to much though. I am scared of gaining. I have to go to Outback tomorrow for my nephew's graduation too. Eating out is tough!!

Hi all,

I just found this group. I was banded 5/22 by Dr. Collier. I am only down 2 lbs, 10 days out. I'm dying for some non-liquid food; only 3 more days!

Well, i am now 5 days post-op. Everything is going great! I love Dr. Collier and highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a lap band doc. I had the surgery at Conroe Reg Med Ctr and everything went great. Had a question about one of my incisions last night and he gladly met me as his office to check it out. How many doctors do you know of that would do that on a friday night? I don't. He's wonderful.

      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.
