Just waiting for final insurance ok. My surgeon gave me a date of Mov 7th. I went ahead and started the preop diet and hos is tough! Three EAS Advantage shakes a day and Water. I have made it through one week of it, and lost 16 pounds. Im only taking in 7.5 carbs a day, 17 grams of Protein each shake. When you lower your carb intake that drastically, apparantly it knocks out your appetite! I have had a few times of feeling really hungry, so I just down a bottle of Water. I think my body got rid of fluod last week, and thos week it will be dipping in to stored fat, and my body will fight! I feel a whole lot better already. My daughter asked me why I need the surgery if I am losing thos way. I told her I dont know many people that could survive on this longer than two weeks. This diet is about one thing . . .it shows you what your really made of and how much dicipline you can really have. Also the fact that there is an end in site helps!

How are you doing with your band? I went to England to meet all of my british family. It was a trip of a lifetime. I had been to England twice before bit didnt get a chance to meet them all. I love England and Scotland! On an earlier trip, we took the train to Inverness Sc8tland, then went out on the loch and saw Urhart Castle. So so beautiful. I wasnt going to leave scotlamd until I heard someone playing the bagpipes. Brought me to tears. I was so embarrassed to meet my family as big as I am. But I am going back next fall and they wont recognize me!

      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.
