Hi,

I think I know how to add the ticker. I just tried it and I think it worked. First, go to tickerfactory. com and it will help you design one. Once designed,you will need to cut and paste into your Lapband profile. When you go the lapband profile, you will see a place that says signature. Go to signature and past ticker into the box. Hope my instructions work. It took me a few tries to figure it out. Good luck! And good luck on your sexier, healthier lifestyle. I am being banded July 2 and and looking forward to same!

Looks like you did the ticker right! I live in the SF Bay Area. Where is Apple Valley? Keep me posted on your lap band journey and I will do the same. Our surgeries are very close - about a week a part. Good Luck!

apple valley is considered "central" calif. but were actually 80 miles north of Los Angeles. I went to "pre-Op" today and was told just not to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery, but after reading (for the last 3days)all these post,chats,and forum I still think im going to act as if I already have the band a week before and do the liquid diet to get use to doing liquid, as well as to find out which flavors and brands I care for most.

      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.
