Monday I will be getting my band. I haven't told any of my family, the only person that knows is my husband. I am getting super nervous now! I know I can do this. I just ask everyone to say a little prayer for me since my family that usually prays for me will not be praying for this event since they have no idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!

Good luck!! Surgery will go fine!! Just remember to sip your Water, use Gas X, and walk when you can. Most importantly, rest! You'll be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery :)

Well I am offically banded now. Everything went well. I am not in too much pain. I would say the only thing that hurts is where my port is located. The Dr said they have to do a little more prying in that area to get it in place and its a larger incision in that area. I would say the worst part is trying to get that nasty barium down for your xray...blah. Thank goodness I havent had much gas pain and I have yet to be hungry. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way! Good luck to all of you that have upcoming surgery dates.

      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.
