Smokey,

Well, this is it! You are the first of our Feb banders to take the plunge.

I cannot wait to hear your surgery report. Remember: we don't expect you to hop back and post away but when you are up to it, just a quick note that tells us you are fine. You can even just send one of us a message and we will post it here.

I hope you have an easy surgery and recovery. I just know you are going to ROCK THAT BAND!

Best wishes!!

Elle.. LOVE the drummer dude! I'm a music FREAK!! Awwww...thanks guys..

Yah, I'm SO EXCITED!!!! But I do have in the back of my head him going in

there and then not doing the surgery! I haven't stuck "completely" to the liquid diet but i'm just having some protein..real meat..almost everyday since Sunday.. which I think is still fine according to "how to shrink your liver" So we'll see. I'm sure it will be fine..and I'm just being paranoid.. hell I haven't had a damn drink in over 2 weeks so that's an accomplishment in itself..:lol: But thanks everyone I'm really really excited.

I'm still waiting for them to call me back for my pre-registration.. hopefuly I go in at like 10am and not 4am! That's too damn early!:lol: What should I bring to the hospital?

So nice to have a teenager..usually it isn't..:lol: he's picking up my youngest from school and babysitting for me so I know they'll be A-OK! I'm so excited!! I hate needles though..:lol:

      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.
