Steph glad things went well for you today. LOL at the 6 month request...too funny! Hope you enjoyed the dinner!! Sounds yummy! I officially start pre-op tomorrow...so here I go! It will suck if the ins approval doesn't come through in time. lol Hope everything goes wonderfully tomorrow and you have a 5 star recovery!! Will be thinking of you!!

Judy - They were talking about starting a Facebook page with a different email so friends from here and those who know of your surgery are the only ones who can see it. I wouldn't use my current one since I've not told many people other than my best friends and some family.

if there is a facebook page starting up, can someone please invite me in?? my email addy is chestermanjudith318@gmail.com

We just left the house. It's chilly in Dallas this morning and running around in PJS isnt exactly warm! They said wear something comfortable, I took them at their word ;)

Nervous and excited. Good luck to all being banded today....see you on the otherside!

Good Luck D!! I am going in PJs too! The temps dropped last night from 82 to 56 really fast and the wind was horrible so figure its cold out too. Someone must have forgot to pay the electric bill in Texas!

      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.
