Hi Sara,

I'm from Colorado. I'm still waiting to be banded. There are a number of docs around here. What part of Colorado are you moving to? I've heard great things about Dr. Johnell (the surgeon I've seen) in Greeley and I know there is a group of doctors in Canon City and a new one in Thornton (near Denver).

Wow, that's so cool that your surgery is happening soon. I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting for insurance approval. I'm hoping to get it scheduled for the first part of April, but am just sitting here quite impatiently! Did I mention I hate waiting? There's a Yahoo group of Colorado bandsters that I found really informative. Just go to yahoo and search for Colorado Bandsters. It might be helpful in choosing a fill doctor.

Good luck!

Becky

      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.
