Thanks :) yea the waiting process here is quite long because where I am from the surgery is covered free of charge by the Health ministry. Whereas the lapband isn't and costs around $17, 000.

I just found this forum! My surgery has been moved up to April 1! I'm sort of in shock... It seemed so far away for so long, and now it's suddenly just around the corner! It's been a roller coaster of emotion, but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life.

Welcome to the group. I will add you to the list. I agree with you on how fast the time seems to be going. I made a ticker in my phone to count down when it was 54 days away. Today it said 36 and it seemed like "WOW" to me. Cant wait! You share your date with 2 others in our group(so far) and the three of you will be the first to "report" back to us that will be waiting! :P

Welcome Jeannette! Nerves are normal, but think about the outcome and that should help! I will add you to our list! :)

      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.
