Newbie here. I'm going in this Friday at 11:30am. Need to be at the surgery center at 9:30am. On the last day of the 15 day fast. No solid food. Bariatric Advantage shakes only with fruit or nuts blended in. They were really tasty so that made it much easier. Clear Liquids also allowed. Tomorrow it's clear liquids only and nothing after midnight. Lost 20.5 lbs so far. Feeling good and ready for surgery. The Kane Center in the Chicago burbs is awesome. My doc is Dr. Kane jr himself. So far a great experience with plenty of info. Just thought I would chime in here because I'm sure we all need the support up to and after being banded. Congrats to all who have gone so far and thanks for sharing your experiences!

      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.
