Hi all,

I am new to here as of 1am this morning. I haven't yet posted my story but thought I would get going with my fellow November bansters. My date is November 8. I am not nervous about the surgery per se but am nervous about food etc. It will be nice to go thur the ups and downs with you. Any one in the bay area (sf to monterey) California? Mine is being done in Monterey, live in Santa Cruz area.

Getting excited now...the nurse from the bariatric program just called to go over and confirm my medical history, medications, my pre-op appt with the anesthesiologist, etc. And I'm in Day 2 of the two week pre-op diet- I started a couple of days early! (and yes, I'm so hungry, but this phone call helps with motivation!) November 9 is coming up soon! :D

My surgery is set for Nov 22- waiting for insurance approval. In the nervous/scared/excited stage now. You can find me on face book- missraefla is my screen name!

I would love to get a group of people who start when I do so that we can have each other's encouragement. I work too many hours to attend very many in person support groups so I hope the online groups will help.

      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.
