Hi,

This is a cool site I just hope I can figure it out!

I want to have the band. I met with the Dr. today. It is exciting to here I'm a good candidate,but sad also.

I think I'm ready. I just look at every meal now as one of my last!

I look forward to this web site and all the info on it.

Have a great night.

Dianne

Hi Diane & Welcome to LBT

Glad you are here, this is a very informative site. I'm sure all of your questions will be answered here :)

I just look at every meal now as one of my last!

Not to worry about that with the band, thats the great thing about the band, you can lose weight and still enjoy food! ( you just wont be eating as much :)

I have been banded for almost 3 months and by the time we gather, I will have had my first fill. I'll tell you everything I know!!

Welcome Dianne!

Don't worry we all felt that way I think! :D I still eat everything I did before banding, I just gave up bread, etc. because of the extra calories. It really is worth giving up a few things to lose the weight!

Thanks for your replies.

Can you explain to me what everyone is talking about when they say slime and PB? Is there dumping?

I had my endoscopy yesterday! I'm getting closer! I just need that report and a few others and then it's off to the insurance company!

      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.
