Yea when I first started my journey I wasn't sure to go band or bypass but I heard many crazy wild stories about the band and thought oh no that's terrible so I am glad that I went with bypass! Everything only goes up from here!! Good luck at your appointment and keep us updated with your progress!!

I recently had a revision surgery from Lapband to RNY bypass; I wish I would have gone with the bypass from the start. I had so many issues with my band; granted I did have some success with the band but most of it occurred at a cost of constant vomiting as the band never seemed to be at a good level of restriction for me. I was what I like to call a medically induced bullimoc.

I wish you the best of luck with your surgery!

      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.
