My PMS lastes 1.5 weeks before hand, so I feel you there. Meds don't help with me and I get most of the symptoms. Glad its helping you!

I sympathize with you PMS ladies. One of the few good things about getting old is I don't have to deal with that anymore!

sooooo, one thing I didn't think about when I started the pre-op diet: pms. today is miserable, and I gained a pound, which I think is from bloat, because I def haven't had enough food to gain. hoping these cramps and cravings will go away; those symptoms, plus a rainy day here in VA is making this day no fun, so far.

I agree! The rain here in VA has been the pits this week! I thought we were going to get it again this evening but we didn't. It got so dark so fast! Glad it's over. I have been watching the weather for next week after my surgery and I am thinking some R&R in the sun is coming up!

Yes. We'll be able to get out and stretch our legs, walk out some GAS, in good weather! That rain was terrible! Where in VA are you located? NOVA? Hampton Roads? Central?

My second submission to insuarance was sent in on April 29th, and a date of May 13 for surgery was given. Just waiting on approval after the 6 month Dr supervised diet.

Getting excited!

Wish me luck, and good luck to all of you soon-to-be-banders! :)

      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.
