Lisa please contact me at my email address christine.perez@cox.net and I will let the group know you are interested in joining our little group. Th more the better. Hang in there . Did they remove the lap band when you got pregnant or just loosened it up ? Look forward to hearing from you again.

I would love to join your group. I get banded on "Fat Tuesday" February 24th. Funny, right! I have lost 10 lbs. on pre-op diet. I am really ready since I have been dealing this since July 10. BCBS requested that I spend 6 months "to prove to them that I can lose weight." So I jumped that hoop and just waiting to go through those double doors. I am even going to wear my mardi gras beads. I hope that you can post some meals on your website as I panic if I don't plan ahead. Hope to support everyone as you support me! :tt2:

      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.
