:rolleyes: Ok, my surgery is scheduled for 12:30 tomorrow. I have to be there at 11:00. They are going to do bloodwork to see if my sinus infection has cleared. I feel fine now.......so keep your fingers crossed that my WBC's are back down to normal!

Today is nothing but Clear liquids. So far, so good. But I have only been awake for 20 minutes. :D

Greg: I think that is a great idea to go and visit her.

I just wished there was some way we could coordinate a visitation or an angel buddy thingy. You all know what I am talking about.

If you haven't learned by now I love to start something when I feel passionate about it. LOL!! Hence the Vegas Bash and all future ones. LOL!!

Anyone interested? I can start another thread so I don't hijack this one.

GOOD LUCK LAINIE Come back when you feel up to it and post. WHOO HOO!! YOU ARE BANDED!

I just got home from the hospital.

I got there at 1:30 expecting to see her wide awake and chatting away. But her room was empty. She has the same room and bed I did. They said she was still in recovery. But that all went well. She was scheduled for 8:30 amn surgery. I couldn't stay so as I was leaving they were wheeling her back to the room. So I waited and she woke up and is doing fine. Little sore from the gas but doing well. She had a girlfriend waiting in the surgery lounge so I just stayed till her friend got there. So she looks good and doing well..SHES a BANDSTER NOW lol

And tomorrow Lainie you will be too.. Proud badge to wear. Good Luck. I'd come visit you too yiur just a hair outside my range LOL

How exciting, Lainie! You'll do fine.

Penni and Greg, I think a "bandster angel" program is a great idea. Could we start threads under our states in the local support section?

      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.
