Hello,

First Post very nervous and apprehensive. May date is March 20th.

Hi! We are bandtwins; my surgery date is also March 20th...three weeks away!

Getting excited and I actually dreamt that I got the surgery....the dream was so vivid from start to finish. It was a cool dream, but now it's like I have to go through it a second time!

Three weeks will go by in a flash...it will be great to be on "the other side."

Wish a smooth an uneventful pre to post-op to all March bandsters!

Has anyone that is on their pre op diet experienced being light headed?

Yes, I have. I usually try to drink something and wait through it. If it does not go away, I have a little Protein, and sometimes chicken boullion helps as well. I had a headache all day yesterday, and think it may have been related.

No not so far. Could be low blood sugar. That's one of the symptoms. I'd call the dr and let them know. They may let you add some extra Protein. If its bad now and the office is closed, eat some extra protein anyway. It will bring up your sugar and keep it steady. You could then call tomorrow.

Ugghhh just got denied and now they have to do a peer to peer on Monday and my surgery is supposed to be Tuesday. I swear if it isn't one thing it's another very disappointed right now!

Thank you that is what I was thinking.

This is my first post on a message board EVER...but I figured the best way to get started is just to jump in! I am scheduled for surgery on March 14th. I start my two week liquid diet on Friday...only 1 1/2 days left to eat food...lol...I am counting them down like it's my "Last Supper"...it's crazy how food rules a person's life!! I am definitely more nervous about the pre-op diet than I am about the post-op diet...

      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.
