Yahoo - June 24th for me at Great Lake Weight Loss in MI. They have a reasonable self pay program so you don't need to travel out side the US. Can't wait to start this new journey!:confused:

My surgery date is June 9th. I am so excited. I am not really nervous although I might start to get nervous as it gets closer to going to the hospital. I am having such a hard time with the pre op liquid diet-I am so hungry and cranky. But-this is all worth it b/c I will be getting my life back and to who I used to before my weight took over my life. I also keep talking about my surgery a lot-my boyfriend is starting to get annoyed. Good luck all June Bandsters! ( And all other months too, of course:) ). It would be neat if there was a group for June Bandsters, so we could all go through this at the same time--anyone know of any Yahoo Groups or is anyone interested in starting one up?

Im on day 2 of my liquid diet. As they say, the only easy day was yesterday. Im taking Muscle Milk, broth (chicken, beef and Vegtable) sugar free Jello and pudding. I think the secret is not waiting until you are starving, but once you start to feel hungry, to have one of your "food" sources. The muscle milk keeps me going for about an hour or two. In between time I have jello and Water. Am I full- no. Is it fun-no, but it is bearable.

Hi, i was banded yesterday June 1st. The surgery went smooth & well. Only pain yesterday aside from the soreness was the gas pain in my shoulders and back. Today I have pain/stinging I assume where my port is. Trying to not focus on the pain. I have drank Water, ate Jello, broth, and Protein Myoplex. Have not had nausea or anything like that. I am hoping the small amount of pain i am feeling goes away quickly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
