Hey all Hope everybody had a wonderful healthy Thanksgiving.

I'm looking for a book on Lap Band, more so something dealing with "living with lapband" I've been looking on Amazon and most of the books I'm seeing is about preparing for surgery, specifics about surgery insurance etc., but I want a reference guid to use after you had surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Dear Sxevan9, Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band is the best weight loss book I have found. It contains " Everything You Need to Know Before & after Surgery to lose Weight Successfully". Borders has it. I'm reading it for the 3rd time. Good Luck, Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I was going to tell you the same book. I have post-it flags on information that I want to be able to find fast. I have read it twice and referenced it several times. I got it on Amazon.< /p>

Thanks for the advise. I ordered the book yesterday and it was shipped today, from Amazon. The funny thing it was out of stock at every Borders book near my home. Must be a good book.

I have "Lapband for Life" by Dr. Ortiz. You can find it on eBay or Amazon. It prepares you for surgery and life after surgery.

I had been looking for a book as well for me to read. I was banded back in June 208, and have lost quite a bit of weight, but I am looking for some tips to help me continue on in my journey.

I went to Borders, looked through a few books, and I really liked Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. I ordered it from Amazon, and I also order The High-Protein Cookbook: More than 150 Healthy and Irresistibly Good Low-Carb recipes. I ordered the cookbook after reading information and reviews about it from Amazon's website.

By the way, I saved almost half the cost of Borders price for Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. :)

      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.
