Hello to everyone,I just found this site, and I am so happy. I am a single mother of 4 small children, so I am so glad to find a support group to help me through this. My husband left me 3 days before I found out I was approved for surgery, we were to go through this together, but I am better off now... I was origianlly going to get the RNY, but had heard a lot of negative tings about that procedure. So I decided to go the route that would best fit me. I have to be sane to take care of my children, So I went with the one that had less recovery time. Also I have had 4 c-sections and was not too keen on the idea of being put under for 2 hours... anyway just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all hello. I will be officially banded on September 29, 2006!!!

My new birthday. Please pray for me!! Stay Blessed you all!:clap2:

And they say women are the weaker sex! God Bless You and yours as you go through this transition time. And please keep in mind that when things are this crazy, it is sooooo easy to run to the refrigerator to find comfort. Don't add self loathing to the load you are already carrying.

Stay in touch and come back often. We won't leave you.

      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.
