Hey guys and gals, Well I gave done my diet for about a whole week now. Monday will be a week. I am so sick of salads that I don't know what to do. I have been drinking 3 protein shakes a day, just to get use to them. I was really worried about them but, not to bad. Vanilla and Choc. now. The orange is nasty from GNC. I have my pre-op on Wed. afternoon. I am so excited. I just can't for the 10th. I am been thinking abot everything that day. If I could get my mom here, I would be doing great. My 3 yr old starts school that day. So it is gonna be full and exciting. I hope everyone is doing well. Allison

Hello August Bansters. I am so excited for us. I just can't hardly wait for this. My husband is now rethinking all of this but I have not.:tongue2: I have been nervous but not rethinking it. I have run into a slight prooblem. Has anyone started or tried the Protein shakes. They are horriable. How am I gonna choke these things down three times a day. I got the GNC kind. HORRIABLE. Maybe mix them with something besides Water. Can we mix them with milk? I have also heard waves about the OH-YEA bars, they were ok, if I have not had a candy par in months I might eat it. I hope that I get to know each one of you and take this journey we are beginning. Allison

ll67, I understand, I have started my pre-op diet today. My stomach hurt all day long. I am on a low fat no carb diet. I think I am getting cold feet. I know that I will feel lots better, and this is due to my health. I will be ok, that is what I keep telling myself. When do you go in for your pre op? Allison

I am to be banded on the 10th also. Today I did all the cleaning out of my cabinets. My family all come home and asked where the food is? We are ALL eating healthier. On Monday I start my Low fat, Carb free diet. Sugar I did not even buy at the store today. Kids will go nuts. Fat free milk. But you know, they will think me in the end, cause I will teach them better eating habbits. Good luch on your journey, keep in touch.

Howdy everyone! I am from Oklahoma. I will be have the surgery done in Denton Tx. by Dr. Provost. I am 31 yrs old. Have one child, two step children, and a husband. Add him to the child list. :mad: I weigh 273 right at this moment. Surgery is being done on Aug 10th. :tongue2: I am so ready. I start the pre-op diet tomorrow. It is high protein, no carb diet. but at least I get to eat. I am so excited to get to know all of you, while we start this beautiful journey. I have been reading all of your post. So I am trying to get to know all of you. Good luck to everyone. Allison

Hello everyone. I am from Oklahoma. I just found out that I have been approved on Thursday(Aetna). I talked to my Dr's office, I have to wait to get the letter from them and then we can start two week of pre-op diet. She said that we are looking like first of Aug. Now I am worried about work. I know I suppose to be off for week or so but I was wondering if I would kill myself if I go back in 3 days. I am a nurse on my feet the whole time. I feel that I have been waiting for this since Jan. why do I have to wait til Sept. to have this done for coverage at work. I want it done, so I can start my new life. Kids will start back to work in Sept. I want it done, so I can have some help with my 3 yr old. Nervous about the Pre-OP diet. Looking about what I need, guess I will start buying and go to the grocery store. Allison

If you are in the starting process you need to find u a surgeon. I don't know what kind of insurance you have but they will make you do a six month dr. and nutionist visits. But if u use your surgeon it will only take 3 months but regular dr with nutionist. This is very very time consuming.

Thank you soooo much for the info. I am waiting for the approval from Aetna right now. So we will wait and see.

They called me on Friday, told me they are sending everything in for Aetna. Holding my breath now!

I live in OK but born and raised Texas'n. I have found a surgeon in Denton TX. Dr. Provost. I just finished the Psy eval today, and sending that baby to the ins. on Friday. Lets hope to get that approval. :ohmy:
