I was supposed to be banded in July but my insurance denied me so I had to start the process all over again. My last appt. is Sept 10 so I'm thinking I may be looking at October. (crossing my fingers) I am hoping and praying to be part of your group :)

I won't get nervous until the morning of Oct 15. I'm still trying to learn all I can and practice what I'm learning. That's keeping me busy.

If the old adage goes" you learn something new every day". I will have learn 30 more things about LBS. Haha

Hi all my buddies getting surgery in Band-tober! My surgery date isOctober 22 at NYU. Haven't started my ore op diet yet. But soon! Starting to tell family and friends, cleaning out old clothes, going to start buying Protein and blender. Today I moved all my winter stuff up out of storage because I can't hoist those boxes post op. I'm going to give away my summer stuff since hopefully it won't fit next summer. Very exciting prospect!

Hello! All! I'm Michele from Cali . Oct 5 at 9 am is my date. Pre-op diet was so hard the first 2 days. Around 800 cal and a butt load of Vitamins. By the third day I started getting into it and now I'm on day 7. Oh yeah, and I lost 8 lbs!

      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.
