Hello all. I am new to LapBandTalk.com and am to be banded on July 8th. I am kinda bummed because I was supposed to be banded today but have had a fever over the weekend so my surgery was postponed. My doctor is Michael Sofronski and I live in Maryland. I will interested in talking to all who are at the same stage I am as well as you oldies who are experts at what is going to happen to my emotions and my body. liquids are not so bad. It has been a pretty easy week for me. Hope all who are at the stage I am are also doing well with the pre-op liquid diet. Wish me luck.

Hey Ruby!! I'm so excited!! My doctor is Dr. Daniel McCollough, Dr. sofronskis partner! Nice to meet you. My surgery is scheduled for July 30th. So I have a couple of weeks before I have to start my liquid diet. I was relieved when they said we could have cream Soups (strained) It sounds a little more doable that way. I live in Va. Maybe we'll meet. I am a nurse, what do you do? Angie:laugh:

      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.
