Hello Everyone! I am getting banded on March 5th and I am so excited. I have been on my pre-op diet for 5 days now and it seems to be going pretty good. Not finding myself to hungry so I hope that is a good sign. I can't wait to start my new chapter of my life after being banded. Good luck March Bandsters!!

Hi Everyone, I will be banded on March 27th. The doctor's office called me this last Friday and I started to cry. I had called the nurse earlier in the day and they told me that I would not be banded until May. Then he called me back and said that he had an opening on March 27th if I was interested. I said yes. Mean while my new hire that I was teaching orientation was giving me this wierd look until I explained what was going on. Then she started to cry. :thumbdown:

Good to all of you. I was banded march 21 and doing very well, I'm so happy that I decided to do this. I was so worry before hand and scared to death. But everything went smoothly. I had no gas pains, no pain, and no problems. I'm still on liquids, full liquids and I'm never hungry. But i know I have to to keep up my energy. I love reading all the posts, I've learned a awful lot just from reading what everyone has to say. I'm so thankful you are all here in the same boat with me............By now you are all banded so we all have alot to talk about............good luck to all.....sue:thumbup:

      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.
