Thanks!

I am so excited!! Getting a little nervous though. I also hope I have a speedy recovery, I don't have much down time. I am hoping Monday I can get around pretty good. I have had 4 C-sections, so I think I know what the pain will be like, sitting up, laying down and so forth.

I have to drink magnesium citrate today and thats it, nothing else except clear, sugarfree liquids. Hope I make through the day.

The hardest thing for me so far is not being able to drink diet coke!! It's been over a week!! Getting a little grabby :) My new life with be way better then the Diet Coke!

Thank you for the well-wishes. Suprisingly I have a calmness over me. Calm mind and calm body.

Ever since I received my date 6 weeks ago I had been a nervous wreck, to the point where I could not focus on my work. Now, I'm getting stuff done and tackling all the hard stuff before I leave today.

I've met with so many people and have went over what to expect so many times with my facility that I'm not nervous. I know I'm in good hands.

Good Luck to the rest of us!!!

God speed to all you 21ster’s! It is your time and you will do great.

Jessenia, I had the same experience. I was banded on the 14th and it was inexplicable but when I woke up on the 13th I had an amazing quiet and calmness about me. I think it was because after 6 months of chasing this thing it finally sunk in that it was here.

What a wonderful journey! Don't know what I would do without this forum!

      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.
