Congratulations. It sounds like you've done a lot of soul searching and are ready to join the banded. Remember to take it easy and give your body time to heal. Follow your doctors orders and stick with the liquids as long as you should. We'll be thinking of you. Please let us know how things go. Best of luck!

*laughs* I see you're still here Phili! You'd think you have a big exciting day ahead of you tomorrow or something. *smiles*

Go get some sleep. You're going to need it.

Be sure your doctor sends you home with very clear instructions on what you can and cant eat, and when you can eat it. That's really important.

You'll do great! You're also not alone. There are a few people being banded tomorrow. Best of luck to you. See you on the other side!

Best of luck to you! You'll soon find out that the surgery really isn't the biggest deal. When you come home just rest-rest-rest, drink fluids and come here for questions and support.

See you on the other side!

      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.
