That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

When do you get your band

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

Ok I know where you at. I am down the freeway from you on !-10. Well I teach in that area. I am off the beltway and Tidwell area. Do you use the ticker? Do you know how to edit? I tried to but it just takes me back to creat a new one and not posting previous weight.

      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.
