I was banded July 25th and it has been the best decision of my life. Today I take my wife to the hospital for surgery at noon to get her band. Very excited for her but at the same time a little nervous for her. I know there is nothing to worry about, just second nature to be worried I guess.I know she will do fine. So excited for her. I will update later tonight or tomorrow morning how she made out. Good luck to her!!

I agree! I would never wish for my partner to NEED the band, but how awesome would it be to know exactly how the other person is feeling and know how much you will be able support each other :).

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Everything went well today and she is recovering great. She is staying over night because she is a type 2 diabetic. Going to pick her up first thing in the morning. Once again thank you to everyone!

      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.
