I have been approved for Sept 24th...I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited :biggrin:
Hi Septemerber bandsters! I just got the call today, my sugery date is scheduled for September 24, 2010. It seems unreal, I haven't told anyone yet (except my boss, so I could get the week off) but not the people that matter. I think I'm trying to comprehend that this is really happening, that I'm really about to start a brand new journey!

Ctrose, and Kmckinleyrn Congratulations On your surgery dates, you guys are the first to have September 24,

Cathy,I know you're at the hospital getting prepared for surgery at this time. This is your big day. You are the first from our group to be Banded.:thumbup::thumbup:, I'm so happy and excited for you, I wish you a speedy recovery. Please keep us post-it on your progress.

Got my surgery date - Sept 27. Will meet with my surgeon two weeks before for instructions. I already know that he requires Protein Drinks only for two weeks before surgery. I am using Premier Protein shakes (30g Protein; 160 calories; 3g fat). I get them from costco and the taste is very good.

September 17 - I know my insurance won't pay so I'm not even going to go through that stress. It may be a bunch of money but I figure I'll get that money back in a couple of years without all the restaurant and grocery bills! Though I will probably more clothing expenses!

It's time. I need to do this for me.

My doctor is not requiring me to go on the liquid diet, but I was encouraged to go on one if I want to. I'm thinking it's probably a good idea.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on decent tasting Protein Shakes?

September bandsters - Good luck to all of you. I have my date Sept 20. I can't believe it really going to happen. Now if I can just avoid the Last Supper Syndrome I should be ok.

Hi everyone Tomorrow is day number 1 of the pre-op for me. I'm ready and willing to start! Insurance is all set . My bag is packed and I am stocking up on the foods I will need for the next three weeks. I'm hoping to stay away from the super market. I told my family every man for himself in the kitchen. I no longer am the chief cook and bottle washer. I am glad I have no little kids to cook for! :biggrin:

      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.
