Im getting my band on Monday aug 6th. Happy cant wait. But I will be the first for my Dr. I'm fine with that because now we have someone in our town that can help. But he only understands the books. I have learned so much on here I didn't know and I'm thankful for it. Thank you all

I assume you mean you will be the first for your GP rather than your surgeon? I think I am the first for my GP. She has been really supportive but I am sure she has learned more from me about the band, living with the band etc than I have from her! That's why it is so important to maintain an ongoing relationship with my surgeon.

Good luck.

There has to be a first patient for everyone. You should receive a lot of special individualized care. That's got to be cool.

      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.
