Eek it's right around the corner to October! I love knowing there are other people going though the same progress as me!

I'm having doubts, I told my husband that on Monday I'm canceling again (we went through this last weekend) but now it's Monday I've decided to not cancel. When I choose to have the surgery I know no matter what I needed to stand by that choice come he'll or high Water. So even though I want to cancel because of my fears I won't.

I fear that I won't lose any weight at all, which is almost impossible but I feel like I'll be that 0.1% who doesn't lol

Good luck everyone. Hope your all going well xx

I used Circle Of Care in 2007 for my Lap Band and last year when I had the emergency surgery to have it removed because it slipped.

I decided to go a different route this time. A whole new team.

He is one of the most experienced Doctors in this field so you'll be in good hands! Have you started your pre-op diet yet?

I start the preop diet next Sun. Its terrible but i feel like going out for a few meals before then as i plan on avoiding restaurants for the rest of the year. But that really goes against the plan to lose weight right!

Does anyone else NOT have a pre-op diet? Like, at all. I just think it's weird :/

Jess31581, I don't have a preoperative diet. I am a band to sleeve revision so I am just going to do the same diet I did before i got my band. But my surgeon doesn't require one.

@@josiek1988 I'm glad I'm not the only one...I was starting to feel really strange about not having one. Maybe like I was missing a part of the process? IDK. I don't really even feel nervous. I'm counting down every day and it just hasn't really clicked that I'm having this done.

      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.
