I just turned 50 too. I had my lapband surgery on May27th. Turning 50 was the reason that I did this surgery. I didn't want to go through another decade fat, unhealthy, and with no energy. I have lost 55 pounds since February. I already feel a lot better. I still have 100 pounds to go, but I am so glad I did this! Congratulations to you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I am probably six months away from my surgery due to the insurance diet and I will be 48 years old once I have it done. I hope and pray I can say that I am 60 pounds lighter (or even 80-100 pounds) when I turn 50. Congratulations. :o

      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.
