I'm in La Quinta, just west of you in the Palm Springs area. I was banded on June 8th by Dr. Coon in Riverside. Did everybody feel the earthquake? Certainly gave us a good jolt!

Hi Everyone. I am new to this web site and still waiting to be banded. I have been driving to Beverly Hills for appointments. Now I find out that I can get it done closer! I live in Moreno Valley which is about 10 miles east of Riverside.

Hope to hear from anyone out this way or in the So Cal area.

As you see by my log in name, my name is Debbie....just kidding...(:rolleyes:) it's really Linda.

      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.
