Well everyone I talk to told me once I got started on this it would be like a whirlwind, wow is it ever!!! I have had my visit with my surgeon and with his nurse, did my gallbladder ultrasound today, in 2 days I see my cardiologist and set up tests with him, waiting on my psych eval appointment and also have an appointment set for pulmonary. whew this is life in the fast lane isnt it? Looks like I will get a surgery date mid-october. I tell you, I am counting the days. :clap2:

I see you are having surgery in the U.S. I had mine in Mexico and didn't have to go through all this expense. But after having the band for 4 months, I'm glad I did it. Losing 30 pounds is good. Now if I can just lose the other 30. Good Luck. Keep us posted. I'm not far away in Tahlequah.

      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.
