Hi :scared2: In reading your post it sounds like much of what I am feeling, you are feeling too. I am being banded on monday (7/26) by Dr. Roslin in Lenox Hill in NYC. My excitment has turned into anxiety, which I am hoping is normal :) More so I am afraid of failure, but I guess I just need to take the leap. I have my final consult today and questions for him ready. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed :o Best of luck to you!!!!

Hi alisonlen454 - how are you? how did the banding go?

Hi alisonlen454 - how are you? how did the banding go?

lk77- Thank you so much for checking in. The surgery was a success and I could not have asked for a better experience than the one I got at Lenox Hill. All the DRs and RNs were amazing and supportive. I ended up having a hernia which they needed to fix during the surgery, so the dr. says Im having a little more pain than normal. But my anxiety is gone and I am so excited and optimistic for the future! Now that the surgery is out of the way, I know I can do this!

How are you feeling? I read your post from 7/8 about going back to see the psychologist, did you ever do so? I have to tell you, your ability to identify your issues with food and desire to take the steps to ensure you change them in order to succeed with the band is a testament to how well you will do. I think you will have nothing but success with the band! Please keep me updated!

Alison

      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.
