Congrats on the eve of your new life! I was sitting in your shoes this time last week and know exactly how you are feeling. The last week hasn't been easy, but I'm finally feeling better today. Remember this is major surgery (I seemed to forget this and thought I'd be better in like 48 hours) and to allow your body time to rest and heal! Good luck! I'll be praying for you as well as all the other 24thers!!

Thanks! I am now up and banded and feeling great! Things went well and I am riding the bandwagon. I hope you are feeling better - I can't believe I feel as good as I do - the worst part about the whole experience was my roommate from hell! Other than that everyone was wonderful! Keep smiling! MM

      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.
