And I Have All of You to Thank!

Hi everyone!

Long time lurker here. I can't begin to tell you how much help everyone's posts have been! I actually did my homework and found the right procedure and doctor for me. My insurance is approved and my pre-op is Wednesday. Chubby all my life and well, fat for the last 10 years, it's time to do this. I'm a professional voice over artist and while it's a great job, it requires very little movement so it's really helped me gain. I'm not a big junk food junkie, but I love to have a lot of whatever I'm eating so the lap-band seems right up my alley.

With the help of all of your posts, I've already done some shopping to stock up on tea and Crystal Lite :P Can't wait to start talking with all of you!

      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?

      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.
