Nothing to be nervous about. :) youll do great. the surgery is over as soon as you know it and you'll be feeling great again in no time. When you're up to it, post and let us know how it went.

You were so right. I was fine ! I'm all done and banded. Not as much pain as I thought at least not now.

I have a little gas- annndddd I have not used the potty yet!!! I'm trying to increase my liquids but it's kinda hard with the gas! My stomach growls and fuses all day. I called the Dr.office and they told me to use colace 3x a day then if I still don't go try Miralax. I just thought I was ok not going because I have not really had any protein/ only 6oz but lots of Water and ice chips and sf Popsicles.

      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.
