Its 11:15pm at night and I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am in the morning. I dont feel nervious but I guess Im a little worried about the unknown. I am ready to start my new life. My best friend and husband is planning to be there the whole time, which Im so excited about.

Within the next 12 hours I will be banded :)

You got this in the bag babe!....I went into surgery @ 9 a.m. this morning and was awake and moving around by 11:30 a.m. and home a little after noon. Just remember take it slow with everything...walking, sipping and you'll be fine! I will be praying for you! P.s. don't forget your pillow and gas X strips they came in so handy today

Well surgery went great. The last time I had pain killers was in after surgery. I have been up moving a ton and everything has been manageable. I am still in the hospital because of insurance but felt good enough to go home. Im laying in bed now watch basketball. Hubby is just hanging out. Had a few friends who know come visit which was nice.

I will check back in tomorrow. Thanks for all the support.

      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.
