I am in almost as far west as you can get. Franklin.

No I haven't been banded yet. I basically have my first appointment with the "team" on the 30th. I've done all the pre- stuff. But they make you go through 4-6 months of appointments etc etc.

You?

First of all I think it is very difficult to navigate around this site, do you have a Facebook? If you do add me as a friend - my name is Mary Bailey, I live in Morganton, NC, and I am a Lees McRae student, mother of 2. If you do add me I will go ahead and tell you not many people know I am looking into this, so... if we communicate about this topic we can do it through messages instead of comments.

Anyway, I haven't actually had the surgery or even met with the surgeon yet, I basically just figured out where I will be doing it, at the Hickory Surgical clinic, and now I am waiting for my packet of info... I will be attending one of the seminars this Monday, so... where will you be having your surgery?

Well if you do have facebook go ahead and add me, if you don't mind, and we can communicate that way for now. This site is so confusing.:lol: It's nice to have someone to talk to about this.

      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.
