The very best of luck. I booked my banding today with Dr Yau for the 15th June so I feel just light headed and well, I don't know.....Looking forward to my life!!!! I've just read though the pre banding diet and that freaks me out. How did you do on it? also feeling a bit nervous about the post op diet? Anyway let me know exactly how you get on, I'll be thinking of you.

Hello everyone and thank you for all your kind wishes.

I am now in countdown mode and look at the clock every 5-10 minutes. As mentioned, I don't think I'll get a lot of sleep tonight and I've now managed to chew off all my fingernails - I guess I won't have to worry about removing the nail polish :).

      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.
