Sorry for the delayed response. I'm new to the boards and a couple days after I posted, my computer went down during a storm.

hi, welcome.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi there. What area are you from? I'm originally from the Fremont/Lincoln area myself.

I'm from the Beatrice area south of Lincoln.

Glad your computer is back up and running.

Do you have the lapband or are you researching it at this point? Do you have any questions?

I'm no expert but I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

hello i am new also. scheduled to be banded 8/13/08

Welcome & good luck.

Glad your computer is back up and running.

I still haven't gotten my computer fixed at home - I'm just using my work computer over my lunch.

I do not have the lapband, but I do have an appointment in November.

That was the soonest they could get me in.

However, I did fill out all the paperwork they sent me so if there is a cancellation, my appointment will move up.

Good Luck SoccerMom!

I had to wait several months myself. Some clinics talk about patients having a "Last Meal". But I think the hardest part of the extended wait for me was feeling like I had to go on some sort of Farewell to food Tour! Honestly though I can't say there is one item I ate in the run-up to the band that I either can't eat now or just plain don't want to anymore.

Again good luck and glad you found this site. Its been a real blessing to me to have such a large community of fellow bandsters.

      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.
