What an inspiration you are!! I hope to be banded in a few weeks. If you can remember back when you first got the band, any suggestions for Protein intake? Any other outstanding points from your journey?

Insurance Approved!!!!! Got my surgery date of May 24th :D

It's funny how you can be sooo excited one moment and scared to death the next, but I am really looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I have been doing a liver shrinking diet for a few weeks now and will do that up until the day before surgery which is Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and light dinner of veggies and lean meat. Lots to do to get ready!

Yay! I just got my surgery date for May 24th also :) Keep in touch! Maybe we can help eachother in those few days after since we'll really be in it together. I have a 2 week clear liquid diet, no veggies or lean meat before so hoping I can get through that without too much trouble!

:rolleyes: I am being banded on the 3/10/11 in the afternoon. I will be at the Marina Del Ray bariatric center. I hear it is a center of excellence so they are very experienced. I do have a few worries. I had to be transfered from the Advanced Surgical institute of Huntington Beach (the skinny capital of the universe) to this office in Beverly Hills that works out of the hospital. So I do not even know my doctor. I have never meet anyone from the office I am having my surgery out of. HAHAH I do hear that there are a few people ahead of me that day....Maybe I'll run in to someone from this site....C'MON! anywho....I cant wait to lose the weight. I plan on putting in a lot of work so that next may I can start tanning my stomach too....since it hardly see's the light of day anymore.....=) wish me luck.B):D:P

      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.
