I can't believe it! I just went to the store and got some Zicam. Hopefully that will make it go away.

Wow...it's finally happening.:lol:

I was banded this past Monday and thought I was coming down with a sinus infection 3 days before. I started taking antibiotics immediately and everything worked out. Good Luck!!

Thanks. :biggrin: I'm doing well. Still a little gassy, but feeling good. Incisions are healing nicely, no more pain. I am on five weeks of "full liquids", but I can have pudding!! I would say I had a pretty good experience overall and I am very happy my insurance covered it. Great aftercare and an overnight stay at the hospital helped. My surgeon insists on one overnight for observation and the hospital's bariatric nurse was great.

That's so great! I'm glad you are doing well. I was looking at your ticker and noticed we are starting at about the same weight (1 pound difference lol) and I am assuming you are probably about my same height since our starting BMI is the same too. I am interested in seeing how you progress in your weightloss so I might have an idea of what to expect. I won't be banded until June, as long as insurance goes ok. So I'm going to be watching you...:biggrin:

Gee...I sound like a stalker!:tongue:

      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.
