Wow! This is such an amazing site. There is such a treasure trove of valuable information put forth by the members. I look forward to losing (weight) and learning with my online support team.

I weighed 397 lbs (6ft. tall) pre-surgery. I have yet to weigh, although I get my staples removed today and will likely have to step on the scale. Not sure of total loss but I feel great and my surgeon (Dr. Lee Schmitt) and his team at St. Vincent's were phenomenal. Thank you Veronica Patterson for inspiring me to adopt this healthy lifestyle alternative.

If any newbies have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. I am sure that I will be soliciting you lap band vets for support, recipes and eating tips.

Good luck all and may God Bless!

Congratulations! Try the Dr. Miles and Dr. Schmitt thread. They are in the office together. The persons participating there are very helpful and are like family looking out for each other.

Hi Rolltide,

I too reside in Montgomery and am looking for a PCP to supervise my 6 month diet. I thought I'd found one, but that was a negative. I'm not originally from Montgomery, but have been living here for 10 years with no PCP. Can you help?:smile2:

      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.
