Hey, I don't have my date yet however, I am pretty sure I am submitting to insurance the first week of October which would put me at about November for a surgery date. As part of my insurance requirements, I have to do the 6 month diet prior along with weigh-ins. I have my very last one with my PCP on the 1rst. This can't come quick enough is what I say!!! (I can't believe how fast the last few months have flown by when I thought they would go slow).

Hi, I'm new here too. I have the lap band and I'm being revised November 4th to the bypass. I too am nervous, excited and scared all at once. Can't wait for the surgical pain to be over with lol. Looking forward to the journey though. Not looking forward to the pre-op liquid diet. Did it once before with the band but I know I'll get through it again.

The Protein drinks I liked the most was the Nector brand drinks, found the taste to be a lot like the crystal light. Love the cherry flavor. Good luck to you.

Good luck with your revision! This will actually be the first surgery of any kind that I've had in my life. Im totally scared of the pain but I know it will be worth it

Thank you. You'll be fine. The pain won't bother me as much as the confinement and someone waiting on me at home. I insisted on getting up and walking 8 hours after my lap band surgery. I walked straight upright but slow. I refuse to give in to the pain but that's who I am. :) where are you from? I'm from Mass and I'm having my surgery at Brigham and women's in Boston. Dr Ashley Vernon is my Surgeon. Know my date but I won't know my time until the Friday before.

      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.
