I am getting banded on Aug 17 and I am going through some crazy emotions right now too. I can't even explain it. I am really happy for you and the new beginning and opportunities that we will have. I am nervous and scared too about a large spectrum of things. I don't even know where to begin or how to articulate it. The waiting over the next two weeks is going to drive me crazy. I really have anxiety and I can't even put my finger on it. Then I also have tremendous excitement and feel so blessed. I didn't think my insurance would cover it either. I will be thinking of you and hope you have the energy and time to post something when you get home so I can hear how you are doing. I will say a prayer for you tonight wish you the best.

Good luck everyone. Don't get too excited. You'll be disappointed if you are expecting bells and whistles.

You go to the hospital; you go to sleep; you wake up; you go home. Really quite event less and boring.

We'll see you in Bandland.

Amanda, Good luck tommorow! In Tyler or Lufkin?

I went to Lufkin b/c of my kids. It makes it hard for me to find a sitter for all three of them for out of town appointments. When I went for my pre op on Tuesday the staff and the doctor were so nice and excited for me. I feel much better now using that practice.

I'm scheduled for 7 am. I'll let you all know how it goes. I'm hoping smooth with no complications. I'm the first one for the day so unless an emergency comes up I shouldn't have to wait long. I'm happy with that!

      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.
