Hey, I'm joining this group!! I wanted to earlier, but wanted to wait on a solid date. I will be banded May 26th at noon!! My bday is the 31st, so I was hoping to be banded b4 that date. Looks like a lot of you are in the beginning of May.....guess I'll be one of the bandsters to bring up the rear!!

This is a great group and I'm proud to be part of it!!!

Is there anyone else with a bday in May?

I'm in the May group too:clap2:

I'm scheduled for May 17th in Mississauga, Ontario with Dr. Cobourn at 8:00am. My liquid diet will start two weeks prior and I'm already for it. My husband is excited for me too. He's the type of guy that eats and eats and doesn't gain a pound...how does he do it:confused: But he is encouraging me all the way:)

Looking foward to hearing about everyone and their experiences.

(PS - my ticker worked!!!):nervous

Its a numbing feeling to see the numbers, especially the amount I want to lose. No where to go but down!!!!

Steady and slow is the way to go

      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.
