Yeahhhh since I'm getting a revision i kind of have an idea how things are going to go. With the band i didn't get nervous till i was in my gown with iv in place. Right before walking into the er. Not really nervous now just anxious. How's the preop going?

Yeah I'm having the revision also, but having a large portion of your stomach cut out is a lot different than just having a band put in. I think that is what makes me nervous.

Doing pretty good on the Pre-op diet. You?

Struggled at first didn't start it on a Monday like i should have. More like that Fri. ???? but once i started Fri i was all in. Almost down 20lbs which is a blessing. It's pretty ok now that I've found my groove. Very true about it being different from the band. I guess I've just tried not to dwell on the fact I'm getting the rny.

      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.
