Okay, you guys are torturing each other now. So you decide what's going to be best for you. This will be so much fun! I can't wait!

I love torturing Mal!

You are the guest of honor, you choose!

Hey Mini- Dr. K. told me I could eat whatever I wanted to on the night before my surgery. I was just banded on May 14 and had about the same amount of weight to lose. I was so worried that my liver would swell up after that one meal but he said that it wouldn't. The only way my liver would be swollen on surgery day was if I didn't do what he asked during the week before surgery. So you can eat whatever your band friends will be willing to watch you eat ;-}. You are being banded on my daughter's birthday. I'll be praying for you! What time is your surgery?

It's at 1:30. Thanks for the info. I was thinking somebody had said you could eat whatever, but I wasn't sure. Happy bday to your daughter (on the 2nd). A fabulous day for a birthday!!

No, it's a BBQ place.

They have these BBQ Beef or chicken nachos.

Any other desires, my Dear?

Does this mean, I'm going to meet you in person, in Parker, day after tomorrow? Oh My Goodness! This is so exciting!

yes, we're going to meet!! For reals!!! I just don't know what to pick. Seriously. Is there a good mexican place? That sounds good now that I think about it. But I really will be happy going wherever. I'm relatively low maintenance that way. OOO, I really like thai or vietnamese or indian too. But we need to go somewhere that has stuff that will be okay for you guys to eat.

Hmmm, I can eat anything as long as I chew it well and take smaller bites!

I love Mexican. Let's do that! Mal can give us a name of one near her house, which is not far from the hospital!

I love this! I wish I could meet all the banditos! Each and everyone has given me such support, encouragement and joy. One day, I hope!

      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.
