Hi everyone!

I'm new to this form and scheduled to get the band on November 1st. I'm both nervous and excited! This pre-op diet has been a little hard to start...2 weeks full liquid...so glad there is a forum to discuss issues and get questions answered.

Good luck to everyone!

Yes, I was originally scheduled for 10/22.. I would be prepping for surgery for Monday... But there was scheduling conflicts with the assisting surgeon... I was totally bummed because I had a set plan for healing time and going to start a new job which was thrown off ... But I'm back on a new plan now where I'll go back to work about 9 days after surgery on 11/2 so it worked out great...

Hope you get that November date!!

The drinks are going ok... I have the chocolate premium Protein shakes from costco .... I actually like them!!!...and I have 100%whey powder to blend with nonfat milk... Also not bad... But I'm used to shakes from prior diets so its not too much of a struggle for me..... I did have some steam broccoli and chicken broth. I think I may need even more calories because 3shakes is just about 600 calories... Besides that I stay drinking Water and Decaf tea all day.

      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.
