Hi Margi!

I'm from Northern Michigan, Traverse City area. Haven't been banded yet, EKG stress test this Thurs. I'm still having wishy-washy thoughts about the LB and if I should go through with it.

Good Luck to you!

Hi Margi (and others!) I'm new here myself (just joined yesterday) and I'm from Michigan, the Waterford/Pontiac area. I'm not banded yet, still working on the test (got a Cardiology probelm to test yet, then the sleep study, then hopefully I'm ready!) Who's your doctor? I have Dr. Deol, cant say enough good things about her and her staff!

Welcome! I am from Kalamazoo but getting banded by Dr. Deol in Sterling Heights - I agree with Rosewolf - she has been great so far!! Worth the long drive from Kalamazoo!

      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.
