Well, I just wanted to share the joyous news that I will be banded this Wednesday (June 8th) at the Rijnstate Ziekenhuis in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Ok, so yeah, I'm not being banded in the states, but that's because I don't live in the states anymore. I'm originally from Kentucky.

Anyways, I'm trying to go ahead and have things on stock for when I come home. I am throwing away all the junk and sweets cause those are my red flag foods, even if I'm not supposed to have them. So does anyone have any suggestions of what to have ready besides Water and broth? LOL My surgery date came sooner than expected and I haven't spoken with the dietician yet, so I'm clueless! Literally! ;o)

Thanks Trish!

My mom is sending me some sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, crystal light, kool-aid and splenda. That's about all she can send without getting into trouble. :) I can't find just plain popsicles here and the jello is nothing like I'm used to back home and it's not sugar free. Gotta love living in a foreign country during these times. ;o)

Hugs

      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.
