I am getting banded next Tuesday, June 6th with Dr. McKeen here in CA. I'm nervous but really really excited. I know this will be life changing and that I will have to concentrate on my bad habits and lack of exercise but I'm excited.

Hi Junebies,

I am scheduled to be banded June 5th by Dr. Spivak in Houston. I am very nervous, but excited also. I am not telling my children before hand, my 10y/o is a worrier and I just don't want him to worry, my other child is 6 and just too young to understand. What are others doing in regard to young children? telling or not before hand?

good luck to everyone that is having their procedure this week-----keep us updated on your progress.

Hi everyone! I just love this site! Everyone is so helpful by sharing their stories. I am going to be banded June 22nd, by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I am so excited and impatient also. I just want to start losing weight without feeling hungry all the time. Would be nice to hear what others are doing for their pre-op diets. I am basically doing a liquid diet. I like the EAS Carb Edge (I think that is what they are called). I ocassionally have some cheese or a salad. I have lost 10 pounds so far. Hoping to lose another 10 by surgery. Hope to hear more ideas.

Good luck and God bless to all getting ready for surgery.

Hello June Bandster!

My surgery is scheduled for June 13th with Dr. Ortiz. I'm so excited and can't wait to get on the plane. I start my pre-op diet at this end of this week! It is becoming even more real. I've waited almost eight months for this and I'm excited beyond words. Prayers and thoughts with all of you having surgery this week!

Julie

      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.
