So, many of you know my dilemma with my unsupportive husband. Well, he told me last night that he took off work (gasp!) Monday and Tuesday to take me and pick me up from my surgery!! Miracles do happen!!! He is not happy about it and that is fine with me, it just shows that he does not want me to go it alone and I am shocked.

Monday is 2 days away! Wish me luck, I'll keep you updated!

Glad to hear he will help you. My problem is unsupportive ( is that a word?) sons. But like you, one surprised me and will take me back and forth from surgery.

Good luck and don't let anyone tell you you cant do this.

Deanna, that is fantastic! It's such a good sign. Maybe he'll meet you half way and even become a lap band supporter!

Good luck with you surgery.

Deanna, that IS wonderful news! I can imagine how shocked you were! Maybe he will eventually come around but it may take some time. Best wishes on your surgery and let us know how you are when you can! Take care!

Diane, that's great news for you too! I bet you were a little surprised! I send you best wishes on your surgery as well! Take care!

CONGRATS on your journey and the support from your husband. Maybe he was afraid of you having the surgery and wanted you to give up. I am really happy you didnt change your mind.

I think it's wonderful that your DH is now supporting you through this process. You will do just fine.

Let me know how things goes. I wish you much success during your journey.

      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.
