Me too!! I've gone for 14 months without having a support group. I'm so happy that I've found this. Hopefully this site will help me learn to work with my band and not against it.

We are so lucky that this site exists. I was told I had to have a support group but my Doctor's was all ByPass RNY and they are not open to the Lap Band approach. I get so much support and help from everyone in here.

I agree that this site is the best!!! I too am an AF wife with 2 girls, and a pcs a few months ago. My hubby found this site when the doctor told me I needed the surgery. It is the best thing he has done for me since we got married over 10 years ago. This group is great for information, good and bad, and for telling it like it is not what the doctors want you to hear.

I agree this site is great. I just found it yesterday and I already know so much more than I did. My X husband was in the AF for 25 years so I can relate with you. Heres to great support and great weight loss.

      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.
