So tomorrow I am meeting my surgeon and getting the call from the hospital about what time to go in for Thursday. I can't believe the it's only one day away. Thursday February 19 with be my new beginning. Thank you all that have answered my posted and for all of you guys posting thigh out there. I feel like I'm pretty well prepared. I am already lost 9 pounds on the liquid diet which wasn't too bad for me. And I'm already fitting into my clothes differently. Thanks again.

Hi there and congratulations! Whole new chapter beginning....choosing yourself and your healthy future first is such a powerful thing. I love having the appetite monster of my back and being able to make good choices. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Walking really helped kick my body into healing mode. Every time I had to get up to pee I would cruise up and down the hallway, a little further each time. Impress yourself and the nurses!

Thanks so much I'm all about that. Going to impress my self and everyone. This is it. I'm hoping to go back to work Monday and have a whole lot of stairs to walk up a few times a day so Friday I'm going to try stairs. If I can't I can't and I will just see how I'm doing. Looking at everything in a new light and being positive. Thanks for the advice I will take it

I did it. I am not banded. Yesterday was a tough day. I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't sleep. But the morning I just went and laid on my back in stead of sitting up. I also took my pain meds in the morning (yesterday I was way to nauseous and wasn't drinking). And I slept fine. I'm feeling ok just a little sore. I took my Vitamins and am drink some grape juice mixed with Water. My stomach pains comes in waves, is this normal.

I was banded yesterday as well! I am taking a week off of work...mostly cause I wanted a break. ???? I've eaten several Popsicles and some broth. Overall, feeling decent. The gas pains suck! I went for a nice walk this morning. We can rock this!!

I have been trying to drink my Protein Drink but I'm so not thirsty or hungry. I'm a teacher and what kind of sucks in this is I was hoping to have the surgery monday so I would have had the week off. I go back Monday but I see how I'm feeling. Maybe a popsicle would be better. My throat is a little sore

      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.
