I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I know that feeling! I tried to put myself to sleep with Tylenol PM and the chicken Soup Protein mix by Unjury today. . . It didn't work! Lol I just can't wait. . . I am so ready for this journey!

Good luck to you! After 4 months of following this forum and 1 cancelled surgery I met with my anesthetist this morning. No issues! My surgery is scheduled this Friday 16 Nov at 0800 Pacific time. I too am very nervous and anxious but I can't wait!

Well day two of fourteen liquid only. When this is over I may never drink a shake again. I am allowed three shakes a day with skim milk and 1 cup of broth to cut sweetness lol dosen't work that well. Get scoped this Friday and meet anesthesiologist then the 25th is dday. I have talked to several Co workers that have had this and are doing great they really cheered me up and made me feel i made the right choice. 1 friend lost 175 pounds which is kind of my goal and he gave me a lot of pointers. Thank God for that. For the first time in a while I really feel like I am making the right choice and I am very excited now. I was looking at pictures of myself back in the day and I can't wait to look like that again come on 180. Good luck to us all I'm praying for everyone!

I have been absent … imagine my shock to see nearly 400 posts! Wow!

I had some setbacks w/ pre-op testing.

Just my luck, a very ambitious doctor threw me through every test imaginable and I just NOW got clearance for my Lap! Yeah!

I will find out in a few days what my surgery date will be, but I now know that I will not be on the November 'band'wagon … soooo I guess I need to start something for December! LOL! My surgery date will possibly be the 18th … I hope … we shall see!

So how are all of you doing!?!? I have a lot of reading to catch up on! :)

Most of us on this particular thread are PRE-OP. . .so we can't sleep because we are filled with anticipation of being on the other side of the surgery. . . We want to be like you, "already banded"! Lol

      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.
