Was watching my niece play field hockey today on the field I played on 30 years and 70 pounds ago. I am going to dribble a ball up and down that field again by next season! SCORE!! (just need a darn surgery date.)

It's nice you set a goal,lol. Get it a goal! I crack myself up sometimes.

I have no doubt that you will!

Hi Valerie! It's normal to be afraid of the unknown, but you really don't have anything to worry about. Day of surgery you arrive at hospital 2 hrs. before surgery. They get you all comfy and hook up an IV for fluids. Then I just watched tv. Then just before surgery they give you something for your nerves. Take you in Operating room, transfer you to table and again ppl hooking you up to monitors and before you know it, you're waking up in recovery all done and ready to start a healthy wonderful life.

If you follow ALL your Drs. orders you will do just fine! Just keep thinking about yourself more healthy & happy, great prize!

I wish you all the best!

Dear Sweet Dee B , it was I that gave you your name and if left to Aj & PPPB no telling what you would have been called.

You ratted me out sista.....

Rethinking new name for DSD.....

Taking suggestions.

I think PPPB making video today. I hope she pictures us all in our birthday suits to help her nerves.

Why is AJ the only one that is never called by a B name?

Who hasn't received a Banded B name yet?

      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.
