I had a 2PM banding and it wasn't that bad not to eat anything after midnight. Just had a big Protein shake at 11:30. I was antsy/nervous most of the morning

Good luck everyone, I was banded on wed and I tell u, its over before u know it...last thing I remember is being given the versed (sedation med that makes it so u fall asleep and don't remember anything) being told to move to the table and then breath in the oxygen, and tada wake up on the way to recovery thinking we didn't even start, you will all be fine and goooooodddd luck :)

I am going in tomorrow - Surgery at 3:00 so I think the no eating part will be difficult. Hope everyone is doing well :)

Thanks everyone for the replies! Surgery went well. I am so relieved that it is over, however the actual surgery wasn't THAT bad. I have been in some pain this week, mostly just discomfort from the gas...which sucks. I'm just ready to be back to myself and start this new life journey! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

      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.
