Hello,

I am going to get the band on august 17 in Tijauna. I am very nervous and have been thinking of it for about 18 months my insurance would have paid for RNY but I just could not do that one. To scary for me. Pray all will go well for me.:party:

I was just wondering where you were going to get banned? I am going down on the 14th and leaving the 17th. I will be praying for you. I am super excited and have been on this forum off and on all day because today is a stressful day for the liquid diet for me. I just come on here to read and take my mind off the hunger. So good luck and keep in touch.

That is awesome. I am not quite sure how or why but they are doing mine on a Saturday. I have a 2 week liquid diet and today has been a little easier for the cravings but oh my am I getting sick of the options. I would have loved to only have 7 days lol. It doesn't help much that every time I turn around someone else in my house is cooking something different. So my new found love is gum. Really helps with the food aspect of it all. I can not believe in 6 days I will be in Mexico, banned and beginning this process of a healthier life with the changes I am making. So yay for all of us. :)

      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.
