YoooHoooo!!! Look over here! I'm in Tampa and can use all the support I can get! I was banded at Palms of Pasadena on 8/20/10. My second fill is next Monday. So far, it's like not much has changed. It would really help to have someone who knows what it's like. You can contact me here or directly at ahibbard@verizon.net

Yeah, someone close to home. I have not had my surgery yet. Probably not until December hopefully. I will be having my done a Palms also. Who is you doctor? I'm having Dr Huguet do my surgery. I would love to talk to you sometime. Hear how your surgery went and OMG so many questions. My email address is Jimlinnie1@msn.com. We could chat more privately there. I'm so happy you have found me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. :cursing:

      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.
