Hey everyone. I have been lurking on this site for a while but I decided to go ahead and register and say hey. I am just starting my band process. I had my first appointment at True Results in Scottsdale, today. So... Yeah. This is happening. :D

I remember when I made my mental commitment and how thrilling the whole thing was but how darn long it takes to get to the point where you start shedding the lbs. Congrats!

The mental hurdle is the biggest one. Actually stepping through the doors was easy. :) This is going to take some time, I have a few hops to jump through to make my insurance company happy. That's fine, I'll jump. I'll learn valuable lessons in the process. Thank you.

Thank you. I am sure I won't be. This isn't a rash decision, I'm going in both eyes wide open. :)

That is awesome! I too went through the True Results in Scottsdale. It took me just over a year to finally decide, and I am now 1 week post-surgery. I can tell you that it might seem like you made a bad decision the first couple of days, but believe me, you will SO learn that you made the right choice! Welcome to the family:)

Thank you so much. :)

It's funny, I half expected, once the initial euphoria began to calm to feel that touch of "buyers remorse" or fear that I was making a mistake but I have given this so much thought, researched it so thoroughly and gone back and forth in my head over it for so long that I am completely calm about my decision. :D

      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.
