I'm new at this.

I've never joined a forum of any kind before. I'm just a couple of months from my lapband surgery and I'm trying to give myself a headstart by plugging in with support and searching the web for knowledge and healthy tips. I especially, want to plug in with christian gals who are going down the same path too. So, I hope to meet more of you on this thread.

With Christ as our commonality.

Good day Christian Sister Bandsters! I am new at this also, am going to surgeon appt the 16th of this month. Would enjoy fellowship, prayers and encouragement times with you all, also. I enjoy chatting and lifting up my sisters, and thought this would be the place! Am believing for a good surgery, lil pain and gas, and the wisdom how to use this tool as well to decrease as Jesus increases in my life!

      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.
