Good luck with your surgery. You said "app" so I am guessing you are on your phone or tablet? If so, check it out on your PC. Much more powerful that way. Welcome aboard!

Congratulations on your new adventure.

Like the others you will benefit from all the knowledge on this forum.

When I stay away from the forum then I tend to get sloppy with my eating habits.

Welcome to the forum. I wish you best of luck with your surgery. I'm new here and once was looking forward to going for surgery. However, I tried to keep my diet low and I started exercising a lot. As a result now I'm completely looking fine. I saved my money!

Hey everyone, ran across this site while researching the band and I've seen some great stuff. I'm scheduled to get my band on 7/26/13. Right now just working though the pre op diet (which is going much easier than expected).

      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.
