Lisa-I am so happy everything went well-I am so happy for you!! My surgery is tomorrow & I am running last minute errands so I can stock the fridge/pantry with goodies for when I return. Also have about 6 loads of laundry to do-not sure when I'll feel up to doing it again.

Don't forget popsicles

How long before the pain stops? The meds don't seem to touch the pain. Hiccups very, very bad!

Don't forget popsicles

Got my popsicles! Soups, sugar free caramel, Protein Shots, Protein Jello, more Protein Powder, gatorade, carrot juice, instant Decaf coffee, tea, gas-x, Fiber gummies, and antacid. I know there's more (almost had a heart attack when I saw the total). I think I'm prepared!

Can't wait to swap stories!!

Have to be at the surgical center in twelve hours. In the tub now, better shave my legs and scrub the ol' belly button!

I'm curious-how many of you were told that you could have a 'last supper'? My doc said to go for it. He told me I could eat ANYTHING I wanted, but nothing after midnight. I ate a bunch of cr*p and now I feel so gross! I wish I would have stuck to my liquid diet. :(

My surgery isn't until next Thurday the 26th and I have been making mental notes from all the post I have been reading lately. I went to wal-mart today and bought my first ever scale. I have never own a scale before.....

I still have to get all my juices, popcicles, jello's and broth. I have lots of Protein poweders to start off with. I think I need to get a heating pad too. Is there anything else I should absolutely have?

Been on liquid pre-op for 5 days now......soooooo over the Jello and Soup already! Especially when I made my family tacos tonight. Only 10 more days to go (UGH!)...actually only 9 as I will be NPO on the 27th. But it will be worth it in the end. Will be banded on the 27th and still have so much to do before then including getting more of the vitamins/supplements for afterwards as well as the Isopure Protein powder. Has anyone else gotten the Isopure powder? If so...is the chocolate good?

I have been waiting for so long for this and the time was going by so slowly and now suddenly, things are going by so fast. I had intended on getting sample Proteins from companies and getting Vitamins and supplements from Bariatric Advantage but still haven't. This company came highly recommended to me. Has anyone else had any experience with them?

Good luck everyone in April.......hope you are all doing well.

      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.
