started feb 21, with 1st consultation...have had to have EGD, Gallbladder removed, psych evaluation, dietary consult, support group meetings every month, keep a 6 month food journal, 6 month exercise journal, and 6 monthly weigh ins......and finally i got the call yesterday...september 11....johnson city, tn, with dr. hodge...it seemed like it was going to take forever when i started, but having to do all this stuff monthly made it fly by....i am excited, and terrified all at the same time...i don't feel prepared for some reason....well, i would say part of it is the fact that they said it would be mid to end october, and then all of a sudden it's like, less than 3 weeks away...i am also getting a hiatal hernia repair when i have the lapband...anybody know how you feel after one of those? i have no clue...congrats to everyone on their surgery dates....

If you could, I am not artistic in the least, could you make me a banner with my name Deborah on it? I love your face, it looks so beautiful and exotic, but even if you could just add 2008. Actually I have to admit, I printed your banner to show my Psych Consult dude. And I am ashamed to admit I am going to put it on my computer at work. I love the Samurai. I need to become the Samurai and for once in my life I need to fight and win! As nice as it looks on the web, it looks fantastic in print.

Please forgive me for stealing your banner. I will let everyone know that it is your beautiful face, mine would be wrinkled and old.:) Might make a whimpy Samurai picture. Debbie

      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.
