keep your head up, stress will affect the way you eat with or without the band. Although its a stressful time, defintely take time to care for yourself. Once this has passed you don't need the stress of dealing with your health.

prayers for you

Thank you everyone! :) things are going as expected, taking it day by day. I lost just about everything and trying to rebuild ASAP, but waiting for insurance to pull through is like watching paint dry. I have a small policy which is limited but the community I live in has rallied tremendously with fundraiser, donations etc. it has been simply amazing. I've even had food network cake challenge competitors/reality stars in the cake world call me and email me with support, it's so crazy! Long road ahead, but I'm pushing forward. And you are all dead on about stress and the band being tight. I haven't been able to eat very much, haven't really wanted to either. I am down 7 lbs in 5 days. Even when I do eat, I can't eat as much so I've actually been eating sweets as to get some calories in the best I can. At least they slide through easily and I know it's not the best plan but right now I just don't have the time or energy to pay attention to the food or cook myself. Once things settle, I'll get right back on track. For now, I just do the best I can given the circumstances.

      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.
