Hi Teri,

You and I are one day apart from our entry to Bandlandia. I am scheduled for Tuesday. I hope your surgery is quick and painless. Be sure and check in when you are feeling up to it. I know I will be looking to hear from you since we are so close in our surgery dates.

I think I am going through the "last supper" syndrome. I have been trying hard not to get carried away, but it is difficult. I don't think I have the frame of mind that I won't be able to eat certain foods after being banded, but I am dreading the clear liquid stage which starts on Monday for me.

Keep in touch.:confused:

Good luck...I'm sure you will love Dr. Boutt. Also, all of the nurses there are extremely nice. One suggestion....as soon as you wake up, Walk, walk, walk and then walk some more. Walk as much as you can around that circle. The nurses will encourage you to walk. They are right about how much faster you will heal. It will help get all the gas out and you will be in MUCH less pain. You won't feel like walking, but it will be so worth it!!!!!

      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.
