I was banded at the end of May and I was also so scared, I was questioning my sanity for even thinking of getting this done to my body. I was so excited to start with; I went thru all the tests and nutrition classes and was even so disappointed when the insurance turned me down the first time because I had lost too much weight. I persisted and when it was time I was scared out of my wits. I don’t know for sure what got me to the hospital but I had read (on this web site) so much info I knew this was my time, at my age I was not going to get another opportunity. I am so happy I did but you need to find your own information, on this site or talk to your doctor. Just know that there are a lot of people that are scared, I hope your find a support group that will help you. I will keep you in my prayers, God Bless

      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.
