Hello everyone-

My name is Lynda and I am 32 years old. I have struggled with my weight for years now and have decided to have Lap Band surgery. I am scheduled for surgery on July 8th and I am getting really excited about it. Of course I'm a little nervous too but I'm looking forward to the new beginning. :thumbup:

Hey Lynda! I feel the same way. July 8th is my banding day also. Just know you are doing the right thing and your whole life is going to change - for the better. This website is great for getting all kinds of information. You are not alone. Just know there are others going through the same thing you will be on Tuesday. Good luck!

Hi Lynda..

Best of luck on your surgery, and the start of a whole new you. Its scarey at first, but remember you are doing this for yourself and a healthier life. You'll get plenty of great advise on this website, as practically everyone has been thru this. I was done May 13,2008 and have lost 34 pounds already. Barb

      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.
