Not banded yet. Still working on it. Trying to get more info on it to make sure this is the right way to go. Everyone here sounds so positive about their decision. Congratulations to you all. If anyone reads this I would truly like to know before I have the surgery if you wish that you would have taken another route--and if so, which one? I guess I really have the heebie-jeebies.

I have no regrets at all. I woke up hungry yesterday and it hit me that I haven't felt the sensation of a hunger pang in months. Truly great. I was talking to my sister-in-law about her latest diet and all I could think about was how great it felt to not have to count points or eat pre-packaged foods. Good luck with your decision - I know it's a hard one.

Hi Everybody, So glad to hear from you all. Really appreciate the input. I think I have made up my mind and it looks like maybe Feb 17 for me. I will be meeting the doctor in 10 days for my consultation. If all goes well, it's Feb. Happy Valentines day to me. lol p.s. I've decided on Toronto, much easier than Mexico!

      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.
