Woke up this am an couldn't sleep. Guess I have the surgery jitters a day early. Alot of mixed emotions going through me right now. I am so happy that I am being banded an still can't beleive it is happening it happened so quick just 2 days shy of my first appt last month am now I am going to be banded. I will be glad for my new journey an the support that I have from my friends am family it's a challenge that I'm ready to take along with my lapbandtalk buddies. I keep thinking now i will be able to run in the yard with my grandbaby an share moments with the two that we just adopted that are 5 an 8. i feel i have also just started over in parenthood because my kids are 17 yr 19 yr and 21 yrs old. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my forum an PLEASE remember me tomorrow :)

      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.
