Hi everyone!

What a nice place Alex has set up for us here! As much as I love Spotlight and the Yahoo groups, it's nice to have a message board format just for us Bandsters. Let's spread the word!

Today's my last day of work and the last day of my Liquid Protein pre-op diet. Tomorrow morning starts Clear Liquids and then at 1:00 PM the dreaded bowel prep. Saturday "morning" I'll need to be up by 3:30 AM to be at the hospital by 5:30. I doubt I'll be able to sleep much anyway. I'm so ready for this! :)

Today's the day! I'm feeling oddly serene as I sit here, before heading to the hospital. Wish me luck, my journey begins today.

Waiting to be called back for surgery. Seems like I'd never get to this point. No nerves this morning

I had mine on the 15th, overall doing very well

Having bit of trouble getting in all those liquids. But at 4 days post op, I'm pretty convinced I did the right thing. Still on pain meds. Dr.s office called me twice yesterday to make sure I'm ok. I love, love, love my surgeon and his whole team. Hospital staff were wonderful as well.

      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.
