Hi there y'all!!! I'm Kristey. I have been flip flopping on getting weight loss surgery for a few years now. (Been to several seminars. lol) I was finally getting serious about it and was going to get it done in December of '05, but found out in October that I was pregnant. YAY!!! So obviously I put it off. I've been thinking about it again for the past year, but after trying to get pregnant again and NOTHING working to get my ovaries going again, I decided not to put it off any longer.

I got my insurance approval yesterday and am scheduled for my band on May14th. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! I'm a little nervous about it, but MUCH more excited than scared.

I look forward to getting to know y'all!!!

      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.
