Hey Everyone,

It has been great reading everybodies emails.....I have really learnt alot.

I will be getting my band on March 4th with Dr. Ortiz. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to start my new life.

I feel like these last three weeks have been a rollcoaster. At times I have been out of control eating and other times a wouldn't dare eat an extra ounce. After reading post after post I realize that this is probably normal.

Regular Size clothes I get gitty just thinking about the possibility!!

Hi Lacy,

just had my surgery on Wed Feb 16 2005 and feel so excited with my new life. Dr. Ortiz did the surgery and you can ask him or Dr. Martinez anything. They are wonderful. I told them exactly the objections that my primary doc told me. I felt so much better plus I made 2 new friends. You can contact me if you like...take care

Congratulations, you will soon be banded! They said not to, but I did a lot of out-of-control bingeing right before my surgery. It's normal. Good luck with everything!

      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.
