Can someone tell me how to set up a personal looking blog, like with the ticker at the bottom? I am electronically challenged and hope I can put my own little progress ticker under my name! Surgery Feb 3rd, now on the preop diet. Yum....not. :thumbdown:

Hi Peggy, I am not extremely computer literate myself---but there is help out there!

If you will go to the top of the Lap Band Talk page, click on Forum---and it will take you to a page where all the posts are separated into categories.

Go down the the catogory titled

LBT Suggestions, Questions & Updates. Click on that. It will open another page with all the threads that have been started under that topic. At the top of all those threads are ones called Sticky's. Sticky's are helpful information to very frequently ask questions--------including yours!!!

There is a tutorial help for getting a ticker right there about the 4th one down.....click on it, and it will open a page detailing where to go, and how to cut and paste the info over here for you to get your ticker.

Good Luck to you! There is also an area for Frequently ask questions up higher on the forum page that will give you tons of amazing advice and support as you head in to your pre op diet and on to surgery. It is an exciting time, and the more you know going into it the better off you will be!!!

Welcome to LBT!

Kat

      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.
