I'm being banded Sept 13th with Dr. Ahmad on Long Island. I've been reading a lot of surgery day stories and it seems like people have such a variety if experiences. Is anyone else nervous?

I know what you mean! I have three kids under 5 and there's so much I want to do with them- ride bikes, play tennis, and a Mommy and Me gymnastics class with my two year old that I've avoided because I didn't want to be the big out of shape Mommy out of breath and sweaty . I'm not supposed to start the preop diet until the 23rd but I think I'm going to start on Monday. I want to get myself on that kind of structured eating and I also, after all this waiting, just want to get to it! My husband has not been super supportive so I hope that doesn't make it harder. I'm so glad for this forum!

Did you start your pre op diet when you were thinking about it or did you start it today? How's it going so far? Is your husband more supportive yet?

I actually started yesterday and it's difficult. Three shakes, one Protein and veggie meal, two pieces a fruit a day. One day at a time!

My husband is not being supportive at all, he keeps telling menu should be losing weight in my own.

How about you? When do you start preop?

My surgery is not until Sept 27 so I won't start until the 6th and it will be 3wks of two Protein shakes and an Atkins meal a day :( so not looking forward to it BUT I know there is light at the end of the starvation tunnel!

      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.
