Okay late last night after I got in bed I freak out about not eating some of my fav foods. So at 11:15PM I went tearing up the house for change, since my ATM card is deactivated (thank God). I found money and off to Wendy's I went! I ordered a double stack w/ extra mayo and medium fry! mane! I felt like an addict! Afterwards I wanted to cry, because I can't continue to mess up the pre-opt diet. So I feel really bad...I meet with the surgeon on 1/5 and I hope he won't notice:embarassed:. I don't know :phanvan. Starting today I will have ONLY liquids! Be Blessed!

1) I know the requirements for United Healthcare was a BMI of 40 or higher, 100 pounds over weight, or a BMI of something arouund 35 with some kind of health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes. 2) I met with my doctor on 11/17 and got approved about two weeks later. 3) Insurance covers it. 4) I will be banded on 1/11 and my hospital stay will be at least two days, but most doctors allow patients to leave the same day of surgery. 5)Sorry no babies "yet", so not sure on that question. I hope some of my answers helped, even though I'm not banded yet. Good luck. Be BLESSED!

I am a January soon-to-be bandster! January 11th!

Alrighty today was much better on this pre-opt diet. Breakfast: New Whey 42gr protein shot blended w/ice, 2 sugar free banana popsicles (2carbs each)& skim milk (really good). Lunch: Not even a cup of tomato soup. Dinner: 1-1/2 cup of Albondigas (mexican meatball soup) yummy! I did eat about five really small meatballs and veggies (oh well). New Whey 42gr protein shot blended w/ice, 2 sugar free banana popsicles (2 carbs each)& skim milk. I used a little Splenda in that one to make it sweeter. Be Blessed!

Thanks girl...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Sophie248, I was in the same boat...I decided on it and changed my mind. Then I decided again and changed my mind. Finally I've decided to go through with it. I really believe I am making the right choice. I will be banded on 1/11...yes I am nervous, but not as I was before. I know it will be a learning process for me and I'm ready. I reccommend making the best choice that will benefit you! Good luck on your decision! Be BLESSED!

I feel ya on that!! I am gonna get me some OATMEAL!! I didn't know about that! Wooohooo! This is a struggle, but this time next year...it is gonna be on like popcorn! That sounds good too! yum POPCORN!

Okay late last night I did eat fried smoke sausages in the red skin after my husband left to hang out w/ some friends. He would not let mess up this liquid thing...they were SUPER GOOD!!! I am wondering if I do the liquids and some kind of meat, if that would be okay? It will be like the Atkins diet, no breads or starches...any way I may do that. I will check w/ my care cordinator Tuesday to make sure. I did walk over a half of mile last night on my treadmill in 15 mins (didn't even break a good sweat). I felt good afterwards, but today I walked a little over three miles in about 45 mins at the park...it felt good to be back at my favorite park. My mom has never walked with me before and she walked a mile and a half:clap2: . Just last Sunday she was at the ER bent over in pain related to her back! Well as for my 2nd day of the pre-opt thing (YUCK), I've had one New Whey Protein shot w/ half of cup of skim milk blended w/ice, three sugar free popsicle (yum) a cup and a half of beef broth w/ Ramen noodle seasoning (left over from last night) and that's it! I will have tomato soup later and sugar free jello. Be BLESSED, Sheila:)

Thanks Tammyj...I am trying, but I did eat fried smoke sausages late last night when my husband left (hehe)! I have to have something besides liquid! I'm thinking no breads and carbs...so I'm think it will be aight. I will do better today.

Okay yesterday I was suppose to start the pre-opt diet, but messed up. So today is going really well, but I am wanting to eat! So this morning I had one New Whey protein shot (42grams) on ice. Lunch: I had one New Whey protein shot (42grams) blended with about one cup of skim milk and ice. I also had a can of cream of broccoli soup w/ a half of cup of skim milk instead of using water. Honestly I am not hungry...I guess since I can't have what I want it's driving me crazy. Tonight I will have one Ramen noodle package (only seasoning) and mix it with one can of beef broth. I have already thrown the noodles away. I hope I can make it to 1/11. I guess it all depends on the doctor...one doctor say no pre-opt diet required and another say two week pre-opt is required! Oh well I will do my best to follow this stuff. Be BLESSED, Sheila

Hello Everyone, I am on day two my pre-opt diet thing (hate it!) and I am using New Whey 42 grams of Protein shots it has 0 Sugar, 0 fat and 2 carbs. It is so easy I can drink the entire tube in less than five minutes (that will change once banded). It comes in orange and strawberry, but the orange taste better...I also blend it in a half cup of skim milk and ice w/ a little Splenda.
