OH WOW!!! Hehehe I am sorry but I just had to laugh kuz I would so totally do that too. In all honesty I am so scared that I won't make it out of the surgery room, but in reality I am at more danger not getting it done. I hope there is a nurse Bridget when I go in for mine, so she can be there for me as yours was. :thumbup: I am so looking forward to reading everything from you as you start this wonderful journey.

So proud of you chocolate, we all have those insecurities when we got ready for banding. I did too. Not enough to back out, but enough to scare you sh....less. But in 2 to 3 months you'll be so happy, even more so than now, because you'll be about 30 lbs less. Way to go chocolate!

      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?

      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.
