Well, I go for it in the morning. Have to be at St Likes Hospital (now part of the St. Vincents Health Care System) at Jacksonville Fl at 0500 AM. Damn early for me! But at least surgeon should be nice and fresh!

Hopefully, should go OK. Don't feel nervous yet but probably will at 0Dark30 when I head over to St Luke's.

Wish me luck

I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 the day of surgery too. It was nice, because I woke up tired (I stayed up late playing on lapbandtalk), went to the hospital, got the blood drawn, waited in my bed dozey, and then was wheeled into surgery at 7:30. I then left the hospital around 11:30am and came home to bed. I made sure to get up and walk every time I woke up, but I slept a lot the first day.

Well had my banding done today. Started about 7:00, out at about 8:00. So far so good. My belly feels like I was shot with a canon ball (5 holes) but no gas or gas pains. Pretty sore though. Still in hospital (9PM)' just gof back from a mandintory walk (every two hours).

I started ths adventure out 3 months ago. I weighed 361 at my 1st weigh in. Today pre surgery I was 333. Might just get to my goal of 250 pounds.

      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.
