My surgery is scheduled for October 19th! This is my transition date because this is the exact date two years ago that I lost my baby to stillbirth due to diabetes and every other thing that could go wrong with your weight and pregnancy. I am a nervous wreck and I start my liquid diet on Thursday. Please help I have horrible anxiety and I have trouble sleeping right now. I just want to get it over with! Any suggestions?:)

Hi Kristina and welcome! I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby. I can't and won't even begin to imagine how you must feel. I will tell you to hang in there. The band will help you lose weight for you to have a safe pregnancy with a happy ending.

I too am a nervous wreck about surgery. I go in Friday the 5th to be banded! It's been a 6 month wait doing all the requirements the insurance company insisted on. But it's here and I'm nervous and scared and excited and having about every other emotion out there. You just keep popping in here for support. We are here for you. As for the sleeping, well, try dreaming of nice and thin you are gonna be!

      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.
