I get banded in 12/5. Luckily I didn't have to go a liquid preop diet.

sorry didn't finish. Anyways I had to do a two week sugar busters diet. Hasn't been too bad. I've lost 7 lbs. Went for my preop appt today. I'm pretty excited. I thought I'd be more nervous as I've had anxiety issues in the past, but so far just excitement. The lady in hospital registration said I'm so excited for you, you're going to be so cute at the end. Well your cute now but I just can't imagine after. Lol the things people say.

Lipastar, I would totally be done being patient. It's tomorrow and they haven't called? You should call them. I work in a hospital. There's no way that it is not scheduled yet. You may have slipped thru the cracks.

      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.
