BandedNellie, karmaandkismet, cece1967, I hope things went well with you guys today. Looking to hear from you when you start to fill better.

Tomorrow looks like the larges amount of people will be banded. I hope the following ones will have a fast recovery after being banded tomorrow, rkwilliams1013, Run Girl Run, pooky032281, ahlmanfamily, Loyalfriend, spitfireleo, Lanah, kydman*. It's 8 of you all together.

Cathy, I'm starting to get a little inpatient, Last night to my surprise, I got a call from the surgeons office, saying I have a 9:30 appointment

on 9/7/10. I hope he will be submitting my paper work then. I hope a pray. My last visit with him I was told to have my PCP to Fax all my weigh ins for the last pass two years. Today I had an appointment with her, and I was told she did fax the papers to him. After he submit the paper work then I'll be nervous until I see if I'm approved or not. Oh well we will see.

Well, its less than 12 hours for me now...I can't wait! The nervousness is setting in, but the excitement is taking over. I had my last pre-op shake about 6pm for dinner, and been chugging Water ever since until midnight....

I had my pre-op appt yesterday, with blood draw, EKG, and Lovenox. Anyone else have to inject the blood thinners the night before surgery and daily for a week after? Surgery is scheduled for the 8th. I am now at 225.7, down from all time high of 235.5 lbs. The nurse asked me yesterday why I didn't seem excited. I guess because I was nervous and cranky on low carb liver diet. Hope everyone else is doing well. Good luck to all 1st weekers. Thinking about all of you and am looking forward to your first postband posts.

Hi Wanna.B. I know this liquid diet is really hard the 1st week but the 2nd week does not seem so bad...maybe my body is used to STARVING!!!:thumbup:

My friend had to also do this diet for as long as us, I am guessing each Dr. has their way of doing things pre-surgery.. I am wondering if after band if you still get the same hunger pains as we do now....anyone??:)

      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.
