I am the same date. 11/22/10. Scared but excited and just want to get through this safely and see remarkable results. And you?

I am having my surgery on 11-22 as well! I have my pre-op appt and nutrition class tomorrow. I pick up my pre-op diet stuff too.....I am more afraid of how I will get through the diet than the surgery! I am excited and ready to lose this excess weight.

Well, my big day is tomorrow morning at 8:30am. I'm starting to feel a little nervous anxiety for the first time.

Hi I was banded Nov. 2nd and that day I came home and I had the worst gas pain, I couldn't even move or take deep breaths. Today is not as bad but I am still very sore. I was giving vicodin for pain but have not taken it because I am afraid of throwing up. (i have a weak stomach for strong meds). I haven't had much of an appetite for eating much so have only had popcicles and some broth but thats it. I had lost 17 pounds on the pre-op diet. I am just looking forward to be able to get back to my regular life. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Good Luck to you all.

      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.
