It seems like my battle to get my lap band out and get the bypass has been nothing but an uphill climb! I hate to complain, but my goodness! I had my original date changed and I had to battle work. Then I woke up from surgery to find out I only got my band out and they couldn't do the bypass. Now I may not get my bypass till aug or sept due to my surgeons schedule not lining up with my work schedule. I could cry. I just want this to be done. I'm so depressed and anxious waiting to hear back if my surgeon can make an exception with her schedule and do mine when she said she was going to-- beginning of next month. Please pray. This stress is getting to me.

Oh, that's so discouraging. So sorry you have to go through this new trial. Prayers that things will turn around and you'll be able to get the rny soon. You certainly will appreciate it once you get there. Good luck!

I feel your pain and anxiety. I will def keep you in my prayers. I wish I could give you some words of encouragement but I know you only want to hear some news about a concrete surgery date. Nothing wrong with venting; we need to complain sometimes. Please let us know when you hear something and you're always welcome to hit me up if u wanna complain!

      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.
