I am sorry about you problems. I too lost my band after being hospitalized three times for inability to get most anything down, I pray that you will still reach your goals. If you get this email can you help me get this to the general public on lap band removal I have forgotten how to send a general email. I still feel tight and I still have spasms although it is out. I am wondering if this is normal. My doctor is aware of everything but I am still worried.

Thanks

HI, just being in the site and posting your problems with the removal of you band is a help to alot of people that have had trouble and don't know why or what is going on with there body and mind, to those that it has gone well great, to those that have not, we need to keep trying and not give up is depressing to have to start all over again, and taking drinks and diets, to lose the weight, i personally can't stand to start over and now to lose more then 45lbs . i could scream, but, you have to go forward. and hope for the best, ....

      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.
