Hello everyone -I am new to this site- have been around a few others though- they are all so helpful! I will be having my surgery on

tuesday - at Cleveland Clinic. Today i am doing the colon cleanse- not very fun...so I am holed up in my bedroom trying to keep busy and running to the bathroom every few minutes or so...I look forward to meeting everyone here- and hopefully joining many of you on the losing side soon! Actually with the pre-op liquid diet I have lost around 10lb already...Anne

I am also going in tomorrow (Tuesday). I did the two weeks liquid but my doctor doesn't have me doing a colon cleanse, sounds like I'm lucky.

Good luck tomorrow. I hope you're not to scared. I've had about four surgeries so am not nervous yet but will be in the morning.

Hi Anne,

I had my lapband placed by Dr. Schauer at the Cleveland Clinic in October. Which Dr. did you choose? How is your recovery going?

      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.
