Dag...I can relate. I'm hopeful that my asthma will disappear with weight loss, since I was only diagnosed a few years ago with "Adult onset Asthma"...but I now know I'm severely allergic to almost everything environmental (who knew?) so I'm sure it won't completely go. I know my Christmas tree is giving me some problems right now...deck the halls and all that...it's worth it! Did you have any problems just post-op with coughing? I know I'm fearful I'll go into a coughing fit before I heal and tear something loose..eek! I've heard some say they cough at night after the band...hmmm.

I am sorry to hear that. I heard that banding helped asthma in some people.

Could there be something specific in your environment that is aggravating it?

      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.
