I'm early November and can't wait to get the show on the road! I have to get the routine pre open testing' date=' and I'm good to go! (Lord willing!) I am getting excited because it has been quite the journey to get to this point. I am already cutting back and excercising. I'm ready for this lifestyle change![/quote']

Anyone else a Nov 7th band date? I am just waiting for final insurance clearance. I work at the hospital where my surgery will be (in the preop area) so I asked if I could start the diet in hopes for that date. My insurance usually precerts quick, as several employees at the hospital have had it done. Have been on the diet one week and lost 16 pounds! I am convinced that was mostly Fluid. This week (week 2) my body will he going into that fat storage, and it aint gonna want to give it up easily! Because of the low carbs in the shakes, I have no appetite. I have everything else done so just waiting for insurance. I am so excited! I have been reading thos forum for some time now and have really learned alot. You all are a wonderful source of information and support!

      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.
