My surgery was moved up to this Friday the 28th. I am so nervous and excited all at once. I have only had to do a day and a half liquid diet because I just found out about the surgery move up at lunch today. My surgeon is not doing it laproscopic. Has any body else had it done this way? Also does anyone want to be surgery buddies?

@@Pinkgirl1234 I had an upper GI done before my revision from band to bypass and I actually got to see what my esophagus looked like. The tech said it was twice the size of a normal one. Don't miss that band at all. Fingers crossed for you! Stay positive and visualize it being approved. (I'm a freak I know!)

@SunlnUT mine was dilated as well. Apparently my band was actually positioned too high in the first place then slipped up onto the esophagus.

@@Dream4tc Did you have any idea? Did it feel strange? When my surgeon got in there he said that my band was too tight and it had slipped as well. I had no clue!

      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.
