HI TRACY! I thought your surgery was this week. Congratulations! Please let us know how you are doing. I appealed Horizon BC BS of NJ regarding the 6 month diet. Sometimes being a pack rat pays off. I had a lot of documentation from a lot of the diets I was on. I also sent them 20 pages of Jenny Craig notes. All total I sent the 47 pages! I must have backed up their fax for an hour. They reversed the decision yesterday. Now I am just trying to get my surgery date. Good luck and best wishes to you as you start your journey to good health,

The nurse told my doctor when I drink I have to stay sitting up for an hour I am dehydrated and drink and fall asleep I can sleep on my right side but I cant stay awake an hour after every sip... I will never rest.

Looking forward to feeling better...

Congratulations, and Welcome to Bandland!!:cursing:

I didn't get my 1st fill untill 8 weeks after surgery. My Dr said this was the healing time for my tummy and band.

It will get better, just try and keep hydrated. Maybe some warm broth will help.

      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.
