Paula~ It'll be here before I know it!!! I hope it goes as good as my gallbladder surgery did. If so I should be in good shape! I went back to work 4 days after surgery. No nausea,shoulder pains etc.. I felt lucky that it went so smoothly. 1 down 1 to go!

I'll succeed~ It has been a long road for me too! I know how you feel but your day will come. I've been working on this since 1st of Oct and then had to get delayed because of my stupid gallbladder. Otherwise I would have my band already. Oh well all things happen for a reason.I just look at it that my band has already helped me in more ways than one. I would have not known for a long time that I had gallbladder problems except it was found in pre op tests while looking into getting banded.

For me and you both it will be well worth the wait!! Good luck on getting approved!!

      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.
