Had final mtg with surgeon before surgery -- scheduled for June 6. Was able to cut 4 days off liquid diet (10 days instead of 14...WHOOP WHOOP!) because I lost some weight since my first dr's visit...

The countdown has begun!!!

15 days!!!

. Mine was at the hospital but in a separate area with sleep number beds and TV.

They look like real small hotel rooms. It'll be fine..

NiqueJ...you were awake for yours?

Yes I was. They sprayed numbing meds in my nose and throat. I was given the option for a mild sedative, but I didn't bring anyone with me. That should be an option... Check in that.

June 17th for me - lapband revision. I should be excited but I'm not - after failure with the band' date=' just hoping to find something that works for me.[/quote']

I am so there with you. I too am revising my lap band. I am afraid of this failing, but also excited at having another chance. I lost 114 pounds with the lap bands. Got the flu and threw up 8 times in 6 hours. I would take the phenergan and then throw it up again. Manger to slip the band out of place. Then gained 50 back. Went through 5 months of take all the Fluid out, put in, take it out.... I just ready to be done with that and embrace the sleeve.

Uugghhh surgery date changed to June 11th 2 days after I started my preop :(

You can do this ..just a small delay when there are many people not fortunate enough to get the surgery done. ..remember your cup is half full not half empty...

Started my two week liquid diet this morning! Omg, I'm already starving. It really plays with your mind, knowing you can't eat. Lord, give me strength to make it thru.

It will get better after a few days. Keep focused and stay in control of your brain. You will definately notice how many food commercials are on TV!

      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.
