Hi everyone! I'm being banded on May 6 in Dallas. I'm 4 days into the pre-op diet. Not too bad. It's just like most other diets I've been on. For those of you considering powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, I think the unflavored in water+crystal lite tastes the best. I love chocolate and hate the chocolate shakes.

What am I most scared of? Being stuck and getting a stomach virus/throwing up uncontrollably. I don't want to do anything to mess up the band. Too much money riding on this attempt to lose weight.

Great idea to start early. Think I will do the same. May 23 is my band day. Very nervous but soooo ready! My fear is feeling okay after surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery and sad to say a quick return to work. Boy I thought I would never say that. Lol!

Good luck to all the May bands!!

The hardest part has been getting used to the Protein Shakes but that is getting better. I officially start my pre op on May 1st. I have to call though not sure how many carbs are okay for the shakes to have?

      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.
