Hi

I am new here too. My op is on 17 July 2008 so not long to go. Have been looking into this for 12 months so has taken me a while to gather courage in having it done. My biggest thing is worried about not waking up after the surgery (silly I know) but anyway time has come to get it done. I weigh 134 kilos so a fair way to go on my journey.

Good luck on your journey, this site looks awesome.

Welcome ladies.... it is a little bit scarey leading up to the surgery - however, I'm sure like the vast majority of people, you will be thrilled you had this done once you get past the first couple of weeks. Best thing I ever did for myself (so far :->)

Hi all,

Trust me it would be the best thing that you have done. I am looking into it at the moment as my husband got banded on the 17th March and he has lost a lot of weight and his portion sizes have went down as well, so a big saving on the food bills.

Here is the link to get a ticker

      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.
