Hi Sam,

All the best for your surgery. I had the surgery done March last year by Dr Leong and it has been the best thing i have ever done. All the best

Hi Sam...welcome! Our very first bandster for the month is lellow, who is in Perth. I know that AU is HUGE, but it's fun to know that you aussies actually get done long before most of us go to bed the night before surgery :)

Good luck tomorrow Cached...You only have about 10 hours to go before you have to be at the hospital I gather so you might not get this before then but we'll see you on the flip side!!

Cached,

you must be at the hospital by now so my good wishes are probably a little late. I hope it all goes smoothly for you!

From one Aussie Sam to another, Congrats!

(although I was not banded in August {I was banded Feb 2005} I wanted to say 'Hi" I hope no one minds)

      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.
