I am at the beginning of the process too, and I also am a mother, I have two little girls.

I have to loose at least 100+ to get to where I need to go..

Are you nervous? I am not yet but I am sure I will be when it gets closer...

Do you have a date set to have your surgery, I don't yet I have a few more things I have to get into the clinic..

Where are having it done?

Sorry for all the questions, I am new at this....

Hope to hear from you soon...

Hey Jennifer!

Glad to hear that you are on this journey as well!! My surgeon will be submitting to ins. next week....then I wait! I'm already so anxious! We are hoping for an early April date!! I am having surgery in Blue Earth..south of Mankato. I want to lose at least 75 pounds..85 would put me in the normal weight range, but I can't imagine that weight!!! Stay in touch...I would love to know how this is going for you!

Have you been banded yet? I just got my first fill last week. Some restriction, I still need to fight with myself to make better choices!

Good Luck...We can DO this!

I am a 27 yr old mom of 4 from MN and going to a lap band seminar next thursday.

If I decide to do this how soon would a surgery be scheduled? Im wondering if anyone knows the process since I am very new.

I have bad health and my weight isnt helping my health so they suggested this.

I would love to keep in touch with everyone. I need someone to help me through this.

My email is blue2cry@hotmail.com

      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.
