I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. you have been such a positive inspiration to me even though we have different surgeries. I am going through some troubles with my band. I am doing whatever I have to to hang onto my band. but when your surgeon starts talking about your insurance and what it covers you began to think oh oh. although after 2 mos. my slippage is fixed and my band is back in place the damage to my esophagus is big. I cried all the way home the other day and its a 2 hour trip. besides all my knee problems and surgeries and bulging discs in the neck and bursitis in my shoulder I often wonder what God has planned for me next. but the wt. loss keeps me going. it feels so good to be smaller and to wear clothes that don't make me look like a elephant. when depression hits this is what I concentrate on. I am not on insulin anymore. yea! I am not on heart medications anymore yea! my arms fit into a large tee shirt yea! so when feeling down try and concentrate on what is good in your new life. I pray that your bedsore heals. and your pain becomes less. we are here for you. hold on and give yourself a big big hug.

      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.
