Me too!!! I'm so worried I will not be able to stick to the pre op diet due to being so hungry! I have to go to CA for a conference & that should be fun to try & stick with it. Good luck to u!!!

I was supposed to do 5 shakes/bars/soup. I did one of each and it was not so bad. Not great but not as bad as I thought it would taste. I only did 3 servings so far. Gonna do #4 now then go to bed. Fortunately, I was not hungry all day!

I'm April 8th also! I had a dream last night about being on the OR table and not being able to breath. Kinda scary but it's just a dream! But I had all of my preop testing yesterday. So lets get this show on the road!!!

I am interested in a reply of the April bandsters from 2012. I am down 85 lbs. I am really beating myself up because my anniversary date is April 6th and I was hoping for 100 lb loss. Can I hear from the April bandsters and your weight loss so I can put my 85 lbs in perspective. Is it normal or am I falling behind.

Thanks

Cindy

I have the same nervousness going on but I have to calm myself down and remember I made this choice for a healthier me and I'm prepared for this... and you are too... don't worry once it's over and we're awake we'll both feel silly for having worried so much! Good luck :D

Can I just say something here? I think you have done an AMAZING job... 85lbs is nothing to beat yourself up over.... I think if you set lower goals you'll be happy when you exceed them but if you set a goal that is a high goal if you don't reach it you feel like a failure ... now I know I haven't got my band yet but I have dieted all my life so I do know the goal setting and failing feeling. Also everyone's body is different if you have less to lose the others than yes your loss will come slowly.... and try measuring yourself sometimes it's not all in the lbs but in the inches as well... I think you have done amazing and you should be celebrating your success not beating yourself up!!!! :D

Hi all!

Late to the game posting on here...I'm on Day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and have surgery set for 4/10 with Dr. Fielding at NYU in NYC! I had all my pre-admission testing done yesterday and once my primary doc faxes my medical clearance to the surgeon I think it's official official.

Constantly going between nervousness and excitement all day everyday but I'm guessing that's normal!

Congrats and good luck to all of the other April banders!

Wow Cindy! I think you are doing great-now if you had lost 40 pounds, even though that would be great as well, I could see your frustration. Look how far you have come-you are 15 lbs away from a goal-but you have lost 85 LBS!!! Taht is amazing. Everyone is individual and as long as the numbers are going down you are on the right track :)

Today I started my clear liquid diet, tomorrow is probably going to be miserable, my surgery is at 8:30 Friday morning! Crazzzzy. I just want it all over and done with, the anticipation is killing me! Not to mention, I am on a no calorie diet for a few days. Ugh.

      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.
