I had my preop yesterday afternoon. We did a bunch of paperwork and we talked about my preop and postop diet. I think it has really started to sink in that I am going to do this. I left the surgeon's office in a bit of a daze. It's hard to believe that in 2 weeks I will be banded!

Fellow Mayer jumping in here!

I'm going to be banded on May 9th with Dr. Hugh Houston in Nashville, TN. I have my pre-op and dietican stuff next Monday, April 24th. I'm very, very excited to move on with my life. I want to be active and comfortable and off all of the darn meds I take.

My big struggle will be head hunger. I'm working outside more to keep me away from the kitchen. I'm finding as long as I stay busy and away from the television I'm not as likely to snack.< /p>

Good luck and positive vibes to everyone!

Marianne

      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.
