Just wondering if I can join this thread. I'm getting banded on Tue, the 29th and I'm sooo excited! I'm also excited to be able to have soup or something. This pre-op diet (protein shakes and clear liquids) is not fun! I've been hungry all week. I know the band won't have a fill right after surgery, but willl it help with the hunger at all? Hope so, but the liquid diet is only for a couple of weeks....I can do that. Anyway, ya for lap bands!! I can't wait!!!!

Welcome I am waiting for the 30th, so I know how you feel ! Nerves seem to get me which then makes me hungry.Vicious cycle huh? I know you will do well. I just wish time would hurry a little then again I guess it will be soon enough.Hung in there I think with all the nice people who are out there who have been there and done that will really be a big help for both of us.Good luck to you! Peg.

Good luck to you both... I got banded on Friday and can tell you even with no fill yet I have not been hungry at all. I stayed over night and today i was able to walk around the block. (a little more then 1/4 mile).

Your almost there!!

Thanks guys!!!

Ok, I just added a signature, but I'm not sure if it worked, so I'll try posting and see if it pops up how I want it.

hmmm... the pic isn't showing up. I'll try again

ok, I got it.

Thanks everyone, If that stress test and the money you shell out, can't kill ya I guess anything can happen huh? :huh2:Great for you Nygmen !:frown: Sounds as if you are doing great ! I really appreciate the encouragment.I'll try to keep in touch to let you all know how it's going. Peg:tt1:

Just an fyi for some of you out there I tried the Unjury Protein powder today unflavored and it works great it has 20g pro. per scoop and will mix with hot or cold foods, just follow the instructions on container. they also have flavors like chicken soup and strawberry sorbet I will try them soon I got these in one serving pkgs. and the unflavored in larger amounts. No after taste and helps the liquids be more satisfying and filling without the bubbly felling of the "Milkshakes" Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage. Hope this helps. Peg
