Hey guys i'm new here and have my surgery set for April 11th. I'm really excited but really nervous too. My Doctor is Dr. Beltre and my surgery is at Florida Hospital Celebration- I went to my nutrition class today and it seems like it is going to be really hard but, I ready. I have the support of my husband and family so that is good. I can't wait to read about everyone and get better insite into what is getting ready to happen in my life.

Hi! Welcome to LBT! There is a great thread going strong with all of you April 07 bandsters. It is called April 2007 head start on Spring or something like that. if you go to the search key and type in April, it will bring up all threads with that in them....scroll down and you will find it. They are a great group---and will welcome you! It is so nice to have a group of people all banded about the same time you are, so you can compare and commiserate!!! It was a great thing for me to have the April 06 group. We are keeping up with the new 07 group---hoping you guys have as great of an experience as we did!!!

We are glad you found the site!!! Good luck on your surgery!

Kat

KCQ,

Hi ...I am having surgery the same day but in ca....I am a little nervous but a good nervous I think. My nutrition class is not until the day before the surgery. I hope there is not a lot of things to buy, so I have been looking online for what others have been doing. I am sure that everything will be wonderful.......

      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.
