I am in the Hampton Inn in Monterrey, MX as I type this - I am being banded tomorrow! I had my pre-op testing done this morning and did some sightseeing this afternoon, I´ll meet with Dr Rumbault this evening.

Very impressive testing today - I had an EKG, had my blood drawn, had a sonogram, a chest x-ray and a physical all in one office, in about 45 minutes, max. At home in Virginia that would have been weeks of different appointments in different places... pretty sweet.

I´ll be going to the hospital tomorrow for surgery and will be back here in the hotel on Wednesday. I´ll be sure to post when I can! Wish me luck!

-Dawn :P

Hey 3loves has anybody heard from RmichaelsAZ. I saw a post on 5/1 saying they were hoping financing would go through so they could be banded on the 15th. But I didn't see anything after that. I was wondering what happened.

I sure missed msj0028. I also saw somebody on another post a moment ago that I need to add also.

Started my preop diet today. Southbeach Phase I is what my surgeon uses. So I am sitting here eating a small pork chop and salad. Woot!!

Add me to the 4th of May list.

So far, so good...I guess! Dealing with a pinched nerve, but better for it by all means.

Good luck to everyone else jumping on this roller coaster!

Mvpo,

Enjoy that pork chop and salad! If you feel deprived, just think of those of us who have been on liquids for 3 or 4 weeks. We'd WRESTLE you for that piece of meat if we could get it past our band w/out excrutiating pain. lol. Enjoy while you can, and it will help ease you into your new lifestyle. I will assure you that once the band is in place that it is easier to resist. My little helper - "Buddy Band". lol.

Please, Please, Please enjoy that porkchop! I'm shaking just typing it..lol. My dr. has prescribed 3 weeks just liquid opti-fast. I'm on day 4 of 21. I would cut off my limbs for your pork chop!!!!

Anyway, Yeah what a May Crew!! Good Luck to all getting banded shortly, we'll be thinking of you all. I can hardly wait 17 more days for me and one step closer to a PORK CHOP mmmmmmmmmmmmm:hungry: sometime in July I figure.

      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.
