Lise-

So excited for you. I too am in Seattle, going through Dr. Oh in Federal Way (work in Seattle, live in Puyallup). I'm tentatively about a month behind you in the process. I hope it's going well and you are well on your way into recovery by now!!

I will be thinking about you!!! I sure hope all goes as planned. I am being banded 3/13 and starting to be concerned about the 2 or 3 weeks afterwards and how I will do. I hope to go back to work in a week. Those of you who have gone through this, is this possible? I have a desk job but I am 64 years old so my age has me worried a bit. I am getting mine done in Evansville, Indiana which is about 20 minutes from where I live.

      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.
