Wow, only three more days. Since I've been on this pre op diet it seems like time is going so slowly. Hopefully for you the three days will pass by quickly.

What do you mean by the "band leader"? Are you part of a group of people being banded on the same day or month?

Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you during surgery.

When i say bnad leader this means there was a meeting with our dietican and there were 6 in the class for pre op and we all scheduled for the same day about an hour apart i think thats cool though we will hav eprivate rooms we will be able to communicate and shar ethe joy and pain and help eachother through the day and hopefully form a bond and freindship.

      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.
