Now that I have had my band for a total of 4.5 months, I think my best advice to anyone who asks is to 'Follow the band rules.' It's that simple. It may be simple but I know sometimes it is hard to do. IMO, if you follow the band eating rules, you will do really well. Also, you'll find out that everyone's experience with the band is different. And so while sometimes it helps to hear other's experiences, I think we each have a 50/50 chance of experiencing the same thing. Super good luck to you!

Hi! Tomorrow is my big day! I am really looking forward to it, though of course, I am very nervous about going under anesthesia! My husband had it done in May and so far has lost 40 pounds! He is able to eat almost everything but of course in smaller portions. Our friends don't know he even had this done, because it's not like he is depriving himself and the weight has come off slowly, the way it should be! He is also walking a lot which is very important. It's giving me great incentive!!! :thumbup:

      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.
