:) I am to be banded on March 13. I am new to this site and have very much enjoyed and learned so much from all I have read from each one of you. I am interested in hearing from someone in the St. Petersburg, FL area. Tomorrow I begin my "liquid" food. Please pray for me that I do well with my surgery. Again thanks everyone...Ya'll are so supportive to each person!!

I am due to be banded on March 19, 2007 by Dr. Jose Rodrigez. I can hardly wait. I have been heavy to obese ever since I had my two children over 20 years ago. I have yoyoed myself to 233 lbs. and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My knee feels like I played pro ball for 20 years, I take high blood pressure medicine, I have zero energy which makes it hard to enjoy life. Let's do this once and for all! Prayers always appreciated. :amen:

Start pre-op diet: March 5th, 2007

Band date: March 19th, 2007

Dr. Jose Rodriguez ~ Acuna, Mexico

I'm totally with you on this - my right knee kills me constantly. If I sit with my knee bent, it gives out when I first stand up - I'm way too young for this.

My surgery is less than a week away - this Saturday. I can't wait!

      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.
