Wooohooo! Congrats!! I'm getting banded on the 2nd, it does make you pretty nervous knowing that you have a date and it's really happening... I've been just reading these forums like crazy, going over a lot of the old posts and finding more questions that I'd like answered. It's nice to feel really prepared, and it has helped me to calm down a little.

I just got my date August 22nd. I too am scared but ready to do something for myself. I am new to chatting but it is so good to be to talk to others going through the same thing.

 

Good luck to both of you. Please keep posting so we can track each others progress.

I think I will be a late August date also. Will know for sure this Friday. I'm very excited yet concerned of the liquid diet that is coming my way. Nutritionist wants me to start now on two Protein Shakes per day to prepare myself. Good advice. Will buy some tomorrow.

The liquid diet won't be so long for me according to my doctor. Worried about it though. I won't see my nutritionist until July 31st.

 

I wish the time would go faster. I just want to get it done.

      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.
