Yeah for you! See i told you you'd be fine regardless of the smoking thing. And you probably won't want to smoke now that you're banded! Sorry about having to deal with the guy next to you dying - that is very sad and would have really freaked me out. We will all pray for his family. Welcome to bandland!

Hey Linda!!!!

So glad everything went well for you, with the exception of you roommate, he and his family will be in my prayers.

So, you did it, it finally happened for you, I am so glad and proud of you for being able to go through with this. I know there were some scary moments for you in the beginning, but that's all behind you now and I will be looking for new pics on your webpage.

WTG, I am so happy for you, welcome to bandland, now you'll really know what it's like and not have to take someone elses word for it. Take it easy, remember, don't overdo, you still have anesthesia in your system and be careful about sipping, don't over do that or you will come to know the dreaded PB way too early in the game.

Thanks for letting us all know, I have been thinking of you.

Cindy

      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.
