Justforme,

I will have my band birthday on June 10 also. The liquid diet has not been as bad as I thought. Love the weight I've lost with it! 14 lbs woo-hoo! I seem to see a new number on the scale each day which is probably keeps me honest. I gathered most of what I'll need and have found care for my kids so that my husband can take care of me. I've registered at the hospital and have to call Mon. for my surgery time. I will be staying over one night,

It's good to read all the positive reports from all the other newly banded Junies. I hope the rest of us will sail through as safely as they did.

Question: liquid Tylenol? Are they talking about children's liquid Tylenol or is their an adult strenght. Is adult strenght OTC or to be prescribed? This is the last thing I think eed to take care before Tuesday.

Good Luck to the Junie Bandsters!

If I had not had Extra Strength Liquid Tylenol I could not have made it!

My pain meds had codine in it and it makes me sick. I told them over and over that I had allergic reaction to codine and they mindlessly gave it to me anyway. So be prepared to be proactive at the hospital. They really do mess up some.

The Tylenol I got a Walmart was OTC and near all the other tylenol. I did have to ask for help to find it.

Good luck on your surgery! you will do great!

      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.
