My surgery is scheduled for March 26. It is hard to think about anything else. Every free minute I have I am checking out lapbandtalk.com. Guess I should be out walking instead, but we are in the midst of another blizzard, so here I am. Good luck. Let's keep each other posted after surgery.

The 25th is the big day!!! Today I went shopping for a few things:

1. new pajamas

2. crop sweats

3. liquid multi-Vitamin

4. Liquid Calcium

5. 3 cans of worldwide Protein drink - to sample for later!!

I am having a hard time focusing on anything else right now...my housework is pilling up!!

Me too!

I'm glad someone else is having focus problems. I sneak on the website at work, which is something I NEVER do. (It's not forbidden.....I have a job to do, not hours to spend in the office!)

I have bought a bunch of things. I have a new heating pad, liquid tylenol, gas x stripes, various types of Protein supplements, flintstones Vitamins, Calcium carbonate......and more!

I am consumed with the surgery. It seems to be getting closer and closer. I really don't expect to sleep the night before. I hope that I have a early surgery time!

Hi Duke!

Too funny! I have the same feeling about the scale now. I've never been weighed so much in 8 weeks. I used to dread getting on the scale, but now I am over that!

I have my pre-op stuff on Tuesday as well. I'm with you on being excited to see a bunch of medical folks. Good luck Tuesday!

      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.
