So I was just banded on Monday sept 17. The week prior to surgery was awful. I was in a fog of doubt and scared that I in fact would be one of the worst case scenarios. I was close to just saying forget it until I received a message in my LBT inbox from a " life saver".

This person happened to see that my surgery was soon and that we had the same surgeon in common among other things. Her message and late night responses to my frantic texts the night before surgery got me to my "pre-op" status. She has been there to answer any question or problem that comes up, such as having too much watermelon whey Protein.

I just wanted to say thank you to horsegirl :) she has been a life saver!

This is what is so great about LBT, you find people who totally understand what you feel and somehow know the right things to say at the right time. I am so glad you found the support you needed. We are all here fore each other. Good luck on your journey.

      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.
