Hi everyone I'm just starting out . Finaly have made the choice that I want to go throw with this .. I have a lot of anxieties that I'm fighting like what if I can not control my emotions with out my comferting food , being put under is a big fear of mine and I also have anxiety and I finaly found meds that work and I'm hoping I can still take them afterwards.. I think I'm getting to ahead of myself because I don't even know if my soon to be new insurance will cover the procedure.

whew !! breathe, honey..............breathe !!!!! take a deep breath.................... there , muchhhhhhh better !!! I m glad you made the decision to get healthy, and hopefully your ins. will help you. from what ive heard , taking your regular meds afterwards isnt a prob., going under is easy, and you taking the eating issues one day at a time. the band doesnt take away your craving , you have to make good choices for yourself. the nice thing is the band limits the amount of food you can eat, so if you fill up on healthy foods, theres little room for junk. that being said, you'll get lots of support here,so welcome aboard !

      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.
