Just got my phone call on Friday that I will be getting banded on Sept. 15th!!! I start the VLCD on Sept 1st which is worrying me, I've heard it is a struggle. I've made it through several addictions so I'm sure I can make it through two weeks of shakes. I even get a Low-Cal, Low-Carb, Low- Sugar snack in between the 3 "shakes".

They just said "The Atkins Diet"....As I remember that from years ago it was meat, poultry....some veggies, some cheese and that was about it :frown: NOTHING white was a biggie!.....:smile:

What I do NOT understand is that some people on this site and the 2 others I visit have no pre-op diet.....guess it depends on your Dr..........Here we go, girlfriend!...............

I am feeling very blessed because my insurance approved me in less than two weeks. I am scheduled for surgery on September 25, 2008. The one question I need answered is about how long are people off work? I need best and worst case scenario.

      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.
