June 8th @ 8:15 am it's been a long wait. I'm preparing making sure I have everything in my home for 2 weeks post op, I've receive some great tips from this site I think one of the most important one is to make sure you're cleaned out. (the colon that is) it eliminate Constipation, nausea and cravings after the fact.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the cardiologist for clearance before surgery, and a EGD. Not excited about tomorrow, but getting excited that these are the last few steps before surgery on the 15th:) Starting to do a little shopping for some maxi dresses for the summer. I figure they are a good choice for changes in weight throughout the HOT Texas summer. Hope everyone is doing well:)

I'm also in Texas, and so glad to be doing this early instead of in August when it's 20000 degrees, LOL!

I will be banded June 7th! Can't believe it's less than a week away! I've been in the process since January. Excited for the life change, and hoping for no complications. Are there any other Iowa girls out here?

      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.
