I am getting my band on November 8th, and what an emotional roller coaster I have been on for the last couple of weeks! I just want to get this done already. As sure as I am that this is the right decision for me, it has not been an easy one to make. I am so excited for all the changes to come, but I am so scared of giving up my security blanket (food). Just sitting here writing this has brought up feelings of excitement, fear, sadness, nervousness...these feelings are wearing me out. Thursday cannot some soon enough!!!

I'm getting banded on the 12th, I'm a week into my 2 week pre-op diet. I have decided its not that bad I'm hungry and on day 4 I was pissy like a pregnant teenager but its tolerable now and so gonna be worth it. I really like this forum and you all have been very helpful in answering any questions I had so thanks. I also wouldn't mind joining the fb group (Richard Francia)

My surgery date is November15. My Dr gave me a sugar busters diet. I started low sugar per the sugar busters anything less than 3.5 grams of sugar, all whole grain items are ok. I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what I can eat and I'm afraid I'm going to gain weight. Any suggestions? I do not know anyone who has had this surgery to get advice from.

Looks like you just need to stay from sugar, I was not given a diet but I did Protein and sf fruit in the am, ff lunch meat roll and veggie for lunch , Protein Drink and low cal frozen dinner, mix it up don't get bored, protein drink helps fill you up good luck 3rd day post op

Hi my name is Lori and I am scheduled for November 15th. I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It consist of 3 Protein Shakes per day plus SF Jello and pops. Was having a difficult time the past couple of days but woke up this morning with a new attitude and regained confidence. I haven't weighed my self since Thursday morning but I can tell I've lost weight. My stomach is a little flatter and my pants a lil looser at the waist. I ve only been on this website for a couple of day's but already it has helped me. Thank you all for sharing ur good and not so good experiences. It really does help! Hav a blessed day everyone.

      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.
