Oh my gosh, how exciting! And so soon... I would feel nervous too..just because it is so soon! You won't regret it. It's the best decision I ever made!

Good luck!

Congrats JadensMomma on your upcoming date! Congrats to the others as well!

I remember that excitement I felt when I got my date. I can't say I felt like throwing up though. I started dancing around the house like a fool.

And guess what? 4 months out.... and still dancing! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Good luck to you all!

Congratulations on your decision! Mine was done in December, 2007 and everything went fine. The worst part is what you're going through right now with the liquid fast... My doctors and hospital were absolutely wonderful and supportive, and I had zero post-op pain in the hospital thanks to the pain medicine. You won't regret your choice and you'll feel so much healthier for it later on. Just be patient with the band, and follow your doctor's orders. Good Luck!

      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.
