HI Everyone :P I'm Mia... 25... and I'm hopefully going to be banded soon. I've already had my inital consultation with the surgeon, had my psych eval... I go for my surgical clearance appointment next week and hopefully I'll be getting into Rotation soon! As long as my insurance company doesn't throw any curveballs, I should hopefully be on the losers bench very shortly.

I look forward to chatting with you all :D

Hi Mia and welcome to LBT!

Whereabouts in Michigan, if you don't mind my asking? I have lived in Florida since I was 15, but grew up in Sparta and still have a lot of relatives in Grand Rapids area.

Wow, I am very familiar with Flint. My parents have friends that have lived there forever.

Been to Rockford many a time. Used to go the Rockford bar to eat hotdogs. I never got my name on the wall, but my brothers did, lol. We used to have a cabin on Lake Mitchell up at Pontiac.

I actually live in Holly... home of the Michigan Renissance (sp?) Festival... I'm actually looking forward to going this year. I want to get dressed up, but I definitely want to wait before I spend all of that money on something that won't fit next year :)

Nice to "meet" you both :confused:

      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.
