:banana I want to start by saying Congratulation! to all that have been banded so far this month. I was banded on Thursday 4-7-05 in Monterrey, Mexico with Dr. Rumbaut. Wow! I can't say enough about him and his staff!!!!! Great people. Im not sure what one of my doctors names is but I know I had 3. My mother and I were treated like royalty. The hospital was very clean and very pretty. Marble was everywhere. The day of my flight was horrible. I was told when I reserved my airline tickets that a voters regerstation card was good enough to show citizenship? Well it's not, So I had to catch the later flight, run all the way back home and get birth certificate and marriage licence. What a way to start. I have good advice GET A PASSPORT !!!!! So any way I made it to Monterrey and had surgery the next morning. I was checked on by the doctors everyday. They even came to my hotel room to see how everything was going. I can't even begin to thank everyone that has helped me, and for that I am very greatfull!!! My journey has started.

      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.
