Hey Tammy,

I'm going to be banded at Vanderbilt. I had to do 6 months diet with my doctor. We are now resubmitting to Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Should hear back within 2 weeks. I can't wait. Seems like I've been waiting forever. All of my other stuff is done. Do you, by chance, work at Vanderbilt? I'd love to know more about your experience. Please feel free to pm me.

Jen

I was banded in Clarksville Tn, by Dr. Hruska, on Nov 22 2004. DR. Hruska was in with Dr. Steely but she moved out of town so I am going to see Dr. Steely on Feb 8th for my 3rd fill. I have 3 cc in now and hoping for .5 cc fill to top me off for a while.

      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.
