Hi Everyone....I hope you all had a great weekend. Congrats to all you that just got your dates and welcome to the August All-Stars! Be sure to stop by the August Forum and get on the master list (I think it's called August Roster) that was started so we can all keep track of who's being banded in August and when.

Vegas-thank's for posting that shopping list, I copied and pasted it in my documents. OK, sorry if this is a "blonde" question.....but, why would someone need toilet tongs????

Count me for August too! My date is August 12th and I go for my Pre-Op tests on July 28th. I guess after 10 mo. It's really going to happen. Does anyone know about the recovery time, or what to expect?

zukagirl,

congrats on getting your date, bit annoying about your late surgery time though.

ive only been given a time to arrive, which is 7.30am which they have drummed into me, does not suggest the surgery time as that is when everyone has to arrive. everyone with this company gets an overnight stay. so am taking lots of books with me, not sure if i will have the concentration to read them. have you got things planned for the morning to keep your mind occupied?

Hey Cutie! I'm thinking that anybody who might need the tongs would know what to do with them. LOL! But I'm guessing that it's for after surgery...you might not be able to access certain areas for cleansing, if you know what I mean, due to pain or stitches? Anybody?

      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.
