Hey yall! Sorry I've been mia for the past week. I have had a really emotional week. I'm glad to see everyone getting banded and getting excited about being banded. I hope everyone continues to do well. My insurance company is giving my doctor the run around. I've done all the required things they've asked of me and now they are saying I have to be assigned to a case worker and she is going to pretty much advise me of everything that I have already gone through and been told the past 6 months. I'm still playing circus clown for the insurance company, but I'm really starting to get tired of this song and dance with them. Soooooooooooooo.... I'm still waiting on a date. *smh* I don't mean to sound like a brat, but I WANT MY SURGERY DATE!!!!

      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.
