There's been a 2 wk. lull in making progress toward scheduling my surgery. I had my pre-op testing and nutrition class. That was the last step in my process, just needed to see the surgeon 1 last time. I'm just hoping they haven't run into any issues. I have left a few messages and hopefully someone will call soon and tell me everything is good & we can proceed. I'm so anxious to get started!!!! Wish me luck. :)

The squeaky wheel gets the grease - stay on top of them (respectfully, of course). I know my surgeon's office took a bit to submit everything (I think just due to the volume) and finally I got a call it was submitted and a few days later the call to schedule the procedure. Patience is hard sometimes but it will come! :)

Yes, turns out my scheduler has a funny method of keeping track of things or amnesia! Keeps telling me I've already had appts. And testing, that I haven't. She also has the ability to leave invisible, silent message on my phone. Haha. It's all good, I'm just excited now! Wheeeee! My final visit with surgeon is next Tuesday, the 4th. He will schedule my surgery that day & I will start my Protein diet shortly after I see. :) I feel so lucky, as I just went to my first lapband seminar in April & got the ball rolling! I can't wait! :)

      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.
