K u guys, Im really starting to freak out......nerves nerves more nerves........breath anna breath.....its gonna be ok, right. I am so scared that I will end up like Kathy (u know i luv u girl). Ohhh and she has been such a trooper through this whole thing. I mean I see her posts now and shes like, "yep Im on mushies and didnt even think of going off my liquids cause I couldnt hardly drink Water for like two weeks." Ohhhh if I had what happend to her happen to me I would cry so much. I cant do that. It sounds worse than labor u guys!! and now poor poor guitar man too?! and what about Johnathan? Remember what happend to him? I know I weighed out the risks and benifets b4 I made my decision, So y am I doubting myself???? I can do this right? Y am I so scared all of a sudden?

Aw Bandit! u know i luv u 2, girl! and i wouldn't let you go if it were that God-awful! I had a really rough first week and a half but it is really getting better. I had my Prilosec with a few ounces of Boost this am, and some coffee, and I had a can of Lentil Soup for lunch, well chewed, but it all went down fine. And I'm a trooper because I have to be! And you will be too if needed!

You can do this. It IS a risk, but you are forgetting all the others from April who have gone and come back and are eating like horses and doing just fine!

There are, what? maybe 50 people who got banded in April alone and 3 of us had a bit of trouble; me, guitarman, katterz, and jonathan was banded in Feb I think. So, statistically, your chances of being a May problem child are low!

Be scared, it's surgery! but I know you can do this and you have lots of support here, so don't fret for long.

I was a chicken and gave someone here my home phone number, in case something happened and she could call my hubby, just in case I didn't post when I "got back". How nervous is THAT?

My bet, you'll sail through just fine and be a great bandster!!! Chin up!

PLUS! You are getting banded on my 40th Birthday! It's a GOOD sign!

      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.
