SO happy and excited for those with surgeries comming up.

I tell you this past month and a few days went a lot faster then the month leading up to surgery. I thought it would never get here. It was worse then a kid waiting for Christmas. The only anticipation I can relate it to, was probably being pregnant and waiting for the time for the birth. I know it isn't the same thing, but as adults there just aren't that many things that we "can't wait" to have happen in our lives. So this band surgery was a very big deal to me and I feel like it was like being giving a new life. or at least a new chance at life. Am I making any sense this morning?

Pretty cool. Did I see you are getting banded in Nashville, TN?

I posted a thread saying I will be in town from the 1st of April through the 20th for family visits. I would love to meet you if you want. Let me know. You can PM me.

OOPS my bad. It says Memphis, TN. Well I might be able to swing there for a visit. I have lots of time on my hands.

Penni ~ Thanks for the offer but I think Memphis is further than you think it is like 3 hours from Nashville. It would be great to meet you but thats alot of extra driving for you!

Vicky, you're making great sense!! What an excellent way to describe the opportunity of being banded! I love your analogy.

      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.
