I am so happy I finally located a place were I can talk to people who have also been banded. My hubby is great, but not much help with all of this. Just glad to be here.

Amy isn't this site great!! Everyone on here knows a little about something you may be experiencing or will experience. I feel better about my choice for the band because of the people on this site. They are my kindred spirits. Not to sound preachy but God directs us in paths that we should go and the people we meet on this path are met for a purpose. I know you will be happy posting and reading about the ups and downs of the bandlife. The support here is great!!!

Yep, finding this site was the best thing that ever happened to me while researching the band. I would probably still be researching the band and surgeons if I hadn't found LBT. Once I got here I got all the answers I needed. It has become a daily thing for me now, I come here for daily support and it sure has helped.

Welcome!

      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.
