Topic: RE: Are you still hungry after lapband?
I can only speak for myself. I was so hungry during the liquid phase but it got better and better as I wen along. The first few days after surgery I was not hungry and did not want to eat anything although I muscled down protein and broth. Very little. Now I eat three times each day and have protein in between so I am not hungry. I only have two-three ounces each meal and although I have not felt full yet I also have not felt hungry. It is a hard to explain feeling. I think you will be okay. Goodluck!

I am scheduled for Wed. the 30th and am starving from the 2 week liquid preop

Topic: RE: Getting nervous!
It's funny, when I had my VBG in 2000, my now ex was mortified that he was the husband of a bariatric patient....he wasn't supportive at all. My new husband is very supportive but hates hospitals and gets teary just thinking about it. I too am a medical professional and never seem to think anything is a big deal until they are about to wheel me in. I'm sure we'll all get through this fine...and our spouses too. Good Luck tomorrow!.....Kristin
Topic: RE: COLONIC BEVERAGE YuMMy!!!
OMG I don't know why they make you take ducolax plus the mag citrate! I have been in the bathroom every 15 minutes since 6pm!!! And it's nearly midnight!! All I know right now (and it's definitely TMI) is that my poor battered butt needs DESITIN STAT!!! All three pregnancies with 10 1/2 lb kiddies actually ripped me a new a#* hole that hasn't been right since! Ouch , ouch, OUCH OUCH!!!!! Do yourself a favor...seriously, consider getting some before doing the prep if your butt is prone to problems.
