Nice to meet you, band twin! Are you on your pre-op diet yet? I'm on day 3 and I'm STARVING! I'm really hoping that the post-op diet will be easier!

Congratulations!!! My approval arrived in the mail yesterday, and I'm getting banded October 5th. We're (almost) band twins!

Yesterday was my first day on the liquid diet, and it was also the day I had promised my son to make his favorite dinner. So here I was, starving and cranky, and cooking creamy, decadent homemade mac and cheese. The worst part is that the kids and hubby all said this was my very best batch yet! I didn't taste it at all. I had my husband taste it for seasonings. But it sucked. I had to go drink my Protein shake in my room, I couldn't face sitting at the table with them! I hope that today I'll figure out how to space out my Proteins so I'm not so hungry tonight!

I kinda hoped for sleep apnea, too, and have it, just a mild form. So no CPAP machine! I just found out yesterday that my insurance has approved the surgery! Yipee! My BMI is barely 35, and I have the mild apnea along with pre-hypertension. Good luck!

My surgeon said lots of his patients do. My problem is that I only like the fruit kind (mmm...peaches!!), but he wants me to focus on Protein during the puree stage. I just don't think I can stomach the meat-based baby foods!

Hi everyone! I am new to the board. My surgery is on October 5th, and today is my first day on the liquid diet. I'm nervous but excited!
