Best wishes for JadaB today!! Enjoy your journey. I can not wait until the 17th to get here. The thought of it almost consumes me. I had to get out last night, so I went to Puss n' Boots with my family. I smuggled Snacks in for all of them, and for myself I smuggled in a light Protein Shake.< /p>

I'm kinda freaking out! My surgery is tomorrow! I live 100 miles away from my surgeon, so me and my family are driving up tonight and staying in a hotel. I am on Clear Liquids, so I am having a Jello at the moment lol. I'm so thankful for this site, cause I am taking the advice.... like to bring a pillow for the ride home. It is gonna suck! I might even just wear my nightgown home from the hospital lol.

Thanks for the good words myluv2drive. The belly bloating feeling is the worst out of this from the gas the incision pain is soreness but the meds make the pain ok. Been walking around the house as much as i can which is actually a lot.

I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

      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.
