I had my seminar on May 14th and am going to my Primary Care Doctor to start my 6 month diet program tomorrow. I am so excited about eventually having lap-band surgery. My husband is so supportive and that makes all the difference in the world. I am looking forward to learning from all of you on the forum!:party:

How wonderful for you, and how great that your husband is supporting you. Mine is, too. He says he will do everything I do, even when I have to do the liquid diets! Silly guy!

Oh my dog! Bobbie!!!! Who knew the internet is really such a small world!

Congrats on getting started on this journey. It's definitely not easy, but it's sooooo worth it!

Hi Bobbie! I'm new here too! My seminar is scheduled for July (doc is going out of town or else I'd be in there next week). I've been researching the surgery for so many months that I'm just raring to get started! You gals are very lucky to have supportive husbands! While mine will support me with whatever I decide to do (duh! I'm having the surgery! LOL), he doesn't feel like I need it. He says that I'm perfect the way I am and he doesn't want me to change a thing. The issue is I don't like myself the way I am and if I don't change, I don't think I ever will, so that trumps how he feels LOL.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone and having the support I need from people that are going through the same thing!

      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.
