I have been lurking and posting on this site for a few months now. I have yet to introduce myself as a newbie. My name is Sandy and I live in the beautiful north Georgia town of Dahlonega. It's about 75 miles northeast of Atlanta. My surgery date is 12/4. I will be banded by Dr. Richard with Obesity Solutions. Surgery will be at the Lanier Park campus of Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, GA. I have been on my liquid diet for two weeks now. Since August 4th, I have dropped 24 lbs.!

I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Any words of wisdom from you veteran bandsters will be welcomed. I really enjoy reading the posts and have learned a lot while on this site. I especially like some of the threads in the R&R forum. You gals and guys can get a little rowdy sometimes!:)

Hi Sandy! I'm from Georgia too. I live in Moultrie......not too exciting, but it's home. Congrats on your surgery coming up. You're getting banded on me and DH's anniversary! Way to go on the weight loss, you're doing great. Good luck to you and I'm sure you will do great!

Hey all...

Surgery went really well. Arrived at the hospital at 8 am. Surgery at 9:30. Left the hospital at 6:45 yesterday evening. Had a rough ride home. Hubby stopped and bought hamburgers for the boys and the smell made me so sick...had to pull over and let my crystal light come up....last night went pretty good. Had to sleep on my back. Some pain this morning but tolerable. Good luck to all those having their surgery this week.

      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.
