Hi, my name is Jeri and my appointment is for June 19 with Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas. I live in Temecula, CA, not happy with doctors in my area so I will travel to Vegas. I'm a self-pay also and since I'm coming from out of state, my daughter has the band, and I've done tons of research, they let me skip the seminar and everything else. I saw he doctor June 1, will return June 18 for pre-op and will be banded the next day. I'm very excited and cant wait. I'm a bit worried about the whole liquid part. Also, can someone tell me how they get the pretty graphics that keeps track of the weight loss and bmi? Good luck to all of you.

      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.
