Not quite the same, but I have a card in my purse that tells any doctor or medic what to do if I am unable to....

When I'm with my family / friends / work friends it's fine - they know where the card is kept, but when I go anywhere with strangers, I have to tell them that if I become ill, and I'm unable to talk, I have a card in my purse....

Yes, I have a medic alter Bracelet. I got mine because I have some sever drug allergies but added onto it that I have a LapBand. I got mine at www.DiabeticDrugStore.com.

Hi there.

I have had a medic alert Bracelet for years so I guess I'd feel somewhat naked without it! I have other medical conditions that need consideration in the case of emergency but I've definitely added the band on the information.

My local chemist has them or they can be ordered over the internet from various places. Mine is just a screw-lid thing made of stainless steel with paper inside. You've reminded me that I should probably consider replacing the waterproof seal soon!:smile:

      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.
