Hey all,

This is my first post! (Yay!) My band date is Apr 21. I went from feeling frustrated that it was taking so long to get here, to now feeling anxious/nervous about it! (anyone else have that same feeling?) Id love to stay in touch with any of you April'ers that want to go through the journey together!

I just had my freak put on a leash yesterday! Surgery was very easy, pleasant. Having some discomfort but no trouble with the liquid intake. Never thought broth and Jello would EVER taste so amazing!!! Good luck and love to all my 4/11 bandster buds! Let's get our shrink on!

After being denied from my insurance and going through a long appeals process, I am SO HAPPY to say I was finally approved and my surgery is scheduled for 4/22/2011. Although I am extremely excited, I am nervous. But excited! Hooray!! Good luck to all of you that are getting your surgery soon!

Just found out today that my surgery date is April 21st. I am excited and sooo nervous. I would like to be friends with anyone here and give each other encouragement and support. Everyone on these boards seems so friendly and helpful. I have no extended family nearby and have decided not to tell the ones living far away. No one in my family has as big of a weight problem as me..and they probably would say I can do it on my own. Also, my Mum would worry herself silly about it. I may tell them in a few months when I go home. I wish all of you who have had or are having surgery in April all the best .

      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.
