I too am looking forward to August surgury, I am very impatient. I feel I need the control of the lap-band. I have tried diets and the only one that seemed to work for me was the Atkins Diet. I went on it twice and each time I lost considerable weight, only to gain it all back and then some. My knees and back are paying the price for the weight I've carried most of my adult life. For all the anomousity the operation carries with it, the outcome is the silver lining. I hope that all goes well for you, and you resume a life not burdened by the physical and emotional degradation of obesity.:confused:

August 3rd!! Still waiting for approval, submitted last Thursday, but it's still pending. Dr. Fielding in NYC is doing my surgery. I start my liquid diet on Monday the 20th...two full weeks of pure liquids. That's likely going to be my largest diet challenge yet! Good luck to everyone!

My paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company on July 17th. My doc is shooting for end of July or first week in August! I am so excited. I can not wait to start this new chapter in my life. This is going to be a life changing event, a life style change for me. My hubby and kids are very supportive. My youngest son, who is an athelete (rec'd a football scholarhip) - at first he told me it was the lazy way to loose weight. Now that we've had many discusssion about it and he understands how much my life style will change I don't think he feels that way anymore. But I think deep down alot of people feel this same way. I need to point them towards this discusson board! Doesn't sound like it's going to be a walk in the park. Sounds like alot of work that I am so ready for! Good luck and my prayers go out to you all!

      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.
