Man.... I have been pretty ok until last night/today. My surgery is one week from today. I went to the doc last week and he was pleased because I lost 11 lbs and he said I was right on track.... I have also been SUPER SUPER busy with a production of Wizard of OZ that ran the past three days..... all of a sudden yesterday I got this horrible knot in the pit of my stomach.. ya know... the holy S*#% knot...... this is going to be a long week.

i ONLY HAVE TO DO ONE WEEK OF PRE OP DIET.

I am a little worried about that.

I cannot get a hold of the nutritionist. I talked to the doctor today and asked him if I could have Miso Soup for a liquid

Basicaly only Water miso paste, cut up veggies and tofu

He is only consirned about miso paste. but he said I could exchange the tofu for a cottage cheese I am allowed and take the veggies out of what I am allowed. but the miso he dosent know enough about it to make a determination.

Grrr so frustrating.

You are all going to do great - you will all do the best you can and your reward at the end will be knowing that the weight you lose now will be gone for ever thanks to your new little buddy (band). I was s**t scared before my op, so you are not alone in that feeling. Good luck to you all.

If you haven't seen my rants from the days leading up to my banding, you're missing out. I was definitely in panic mode. Everything that could go wrong was going to go wrong in my mind. It's normal. When I talked to my coordinator she said that if I WASN'T anxious, overwhelmed, a little terrified, she'd be worried about me.

It will all work out and only good things will come from it. Grab ahold of that inner strength that got you to make that first phone call. I don't think it was easy for anyone to do that. It took MAJOR guts. That's the you that will pull you through.

You're all going to do GREAT!!

      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.
