Congrats to everyone who has been banded this week! I hope you all feel better. This is my 4th day of liquid pre-op diet. I've been doing okay with it, but today I have had a horrible headache. I've lost 6 pounds tho, so that's good. I didn't think this week was ever going to end. This weekend will fly by as weekends always do and then I only have one more day at work. Surgery Tuesday! So ready to get on with my life!

Gee I have insurance and I've already paid my 640.00 deductible and had to pay the hospital1500.00 my 20 percent. I don't know why I thought this was going to be 2000.00 without insurance!

I'm going home today. The stay at the hospital has not been pleasant. Never really got restful sleep. And the complications w swallowing made things a bit miserable. I'm off the iv. Its all up to me and that's helped push additional liquids. I'm a little light headed and when I get home I'm allowed to have some Water w juice. Really looking forward to having something other than this to occupy my attention. I'm in the what was I thinking stage. I'm sure it will pass. Thanks for the prayers. They worked.

      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.
