Ummm, is this site run by lap-band surgeons? I was expecting people's personal websites and journals. If this site is mostly surfed by those promoting the surgery...ummm nevermind. Are their bandsters here that don't work for a lap-band promoter?? Please don't be offended by this!! I guess I just figured everyone on this site was just like me...a regular ol' bandster. Not working for a surgeon...

I am a regular old bandstar, I dont work for a surgeon. I posted my hospital clinic's website in the event that someone in my area is considering the band and doesnt know where to start.

I'm a regular old bandster too....what made you think I wasn't??? I am always surfing for different input and ideas and info from other band support groups or websites; personal, hospital, surgeon, etc. It doesn't matter if it's your personal blog or journal or your group's or surgeon's site; I just thought it would be fun to see what others are doing to keep motivated...

      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.
