I am scheduled for the 29th. Is anyone else a little scared? I have a couple friends who've done it and it wasn't until yesterday that I felt nervous. I have to do a 2 week liquid so they're starting me June 15th and I'm nervous about that too. It's going to be ok right? And I'm going to live through it right? Haha I'm only half joking. Eek

Hi June Bandsters! I'm new to this site as of yesterday and am appreciating all your posts, questions and input. I'm scheduled for 6/15 and am only 2 days in on Pre-op diet (yikes)! I haven't been to any classes (none offered) so LBT is proving especially helpful. I'm currently on my iPad and it doesn't seem to work as well as when I'm on the site via desktop. Anyone have any input on this?

Hello everyone! I'm new here & I love that y'all are so excited!! It makes me excited too ;-) I am scheduled Wednesday for my first appointment. I'm doing self-pay, so I'm wondering what's the soonest they will schedule my surgery? Is there a waiting period other than the two weeks for the liquid diet? Yay for all of you who are scheduled this week!!!

      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.
