I am a recovering Pepsi addict as well (diet pepsi in fact). I used to drink it every morning instead of cofee. I haven't had one since I started my pre-op diet. I sure do miss it. But with all the gas pains I'm having right now, I don't think I'll ever touch it again. Now I only have my carb addiction to deal with :myscared:. Good luck to you and your husband.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.

You've chosen an amazing clinic. I was banded on April 3, 2007 by Dr. Mumford and both he and Dr. Coburn and the nurses and staff were and have been terrific.

I went in on Friday for my first fill, 4cc's, and was more nervous then the day I went in for surgery. I told Tammy, the nurse, this and she told me to rest assure because there was nothing to worry about. We talked a little longer and then before I knew it, it was over.

Any time I've called or emailed the nurses they have called right back. After surgery Dr. Mumford followed up with a personal phone call twice and both times he was in no rush to hang up. He answered all my questions and made recommendations for a speedy recovery..the service truly is fantastic.

Good Luck and God Bless.

      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.
