:girl_hug: Hey everyone,

I just found out about this forum last night at my pre-op seminar, I've spent most of my morning looking around it, reading what everyone has had to say. I think this is great. Today is the first day of my pre-op diet so I figured there was no better time to get on this and meet people going through or have gone through what I am about to begin. Right now, I'm not so much nervous as I am anxious, and am worried about these 10 days of pre-op diet, I guess thats normal though.

I guess just to give some background, I've struggled with weight since I was about 12 I guess you could say I'm an emotional eater I ate my way through my parents divorce and through the death of loved ones. I've always been athletic and still am, I love working out, I love the gym, I love playing sports, although as much as I work out I can't lose the weight. (although I have tried!!!)

I found out about banding at the New You show in 2005 and have been thinking about, researching, and discussing it with my family ever since. I am so excited I can't wait to lose the weight and live the rest of my life, healthy and not overweight!

So congratulations to everyone who is taking this step, its a huge one to take. And thank you all in advance for all the support I am sure I will be relying on you all for!

:)

      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?

      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.
