Awesome!

Actually decided today to move my date to Nov 5 . Conflict with kids schedule at school. Didn't want to but it will work best with getting a babysitter since I'm traveling out of state for surgery.

I am getting banded 10/8/12. I am so excited. Scared but excited. Is anyone having difficulty with the pre-op diet. This is my 3rd day. The first 2 days were hard. But, I am doing better today.

Which preop are you doing? My surgeon requires 2 weeks of strictly Optifast. It's been ok but I'm really hungry right now. I've been blogging my adventures with the whole process and just uploaded a long one about my first day on the diet. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/

Hey there!!! That's my band day too!!! I started the liquid diet yesterday. The day time is okay but I did go to sleep hungry last night. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch.

      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.
