So, it's been a while since I originally posted on this page, I've changed my mind and back again about having surgery. The thought of complications scared me SO bad. But I've finally scheduled my surgery for Friday the 28th. I'm still nervous, but feel like I have no other way. I actually lose weight pretty fast, that's never been a problem, but I can never maintain it. Praying that this band will give the the little extra I need to keep the weight off. Looking forward to learning about you guys as we continue on this journey together!

Congrats RN925, on setting your date. You are not alone in this. I went back and forth too. I was banded this past Wednesday and haven't looked back. This forum has really helped me. Keep us posted.

      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.
