It's almost here!! This weekend I've been a tiny bit weepy...I think it's really finally hit me what a huge change is about to take place in my life. So I'm excited, nervous, scared and excited again. food, which has been my comfort, entertainment, reward, instant gratification, is going to find a new, more appropriate place in my world, with the help of the Band.

Right now I'm waiting for a load of towels to dry so I can take my shower and scrub with the stuff the hospital gave me. I've got fresh clean sheets to climb into, freshly washed clothes to wear tomorrow (even though they were already clean lol), my overnight bag almost ready. Won't have much to do to get ready in the morning after showering *again*, since I can't wear makeup or deodorant or my contact lenses. I'm so afraid I'm going to forget something, but I know it's just nerves.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers...my surgery is at 11:15 AM Central time. I have to be there at 9:15...fun, we get to fight Houston rush hour traffic to get to the hospital :biggrin:

Best wishes and prayers to the other August 4th Bandsters!!

      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.
