Quick question everyone...why can't we (on full liquid pre-op diets)have Soups that are low in fat and calories instead of liquid soups? I'm just curious. A lot of them are lower in calories and fat and are probably better for you. What's the deal with that. Does it have to do with how it breaks down in the body?

i too am getting banding Oct 22. sometimes i think about how close it is and i feel like i am going to have an anxiety attack. i have had a few major surgeries and i felt the same way when i was going to have them. i guess it's normal.

my dr. e-mailed me a couple of videos to watch on the computer. i almost wished i hadn't watched them.

hey gottabthin! I to find myself thinking constantly of swimming and not dying because I can not make it the whole lap. I swam competition as a teenager and my goal is to be able to have the endurance to swim like that again, not the speed, the strength just to make it.

TO THE 21ST WE GO......

hI ALL; sucessfully banded oct 11/08 by Dr Corvala in Tijuana, Mexico. Cannot praise the staff enough , surgery was very easy. Care was excellent. Would highly recommend. :thumbup: I currently in San Diego overnight on my way to las vega to meet my family:smile:. I feel very good, just a little sore. I slept alot while I had the chance and I think this helps heal.

I go for my preadmission testing on the 16th, 1 week before surgery. I have surgery on the 21st and started my preop diet friday night and I am currently starving, I think my body trying to adjust to the shock gave me a Migraine this morning on my way to the Doctors office for my evaluation with the personal trainer to set up an exercise plan to work with, so I was bad and skipped my morning classes because I was having a hard time functioning and I needed to be at my evening classes so I came home and slept for a while which helped. What has been helping me with the hunger is I keep distracting myself with, homework, my Mom calling to check on me 2 and 3 times a day, as well as playing a game on my laptop, plus getting outside and walking. Ok I think I am starting to ramble and its time for me to go to bed since its 4 am here. Congrats on everyones upcoming surgeries.

That is Great news!

I am 11 days out now and am finally feeling really back to "normal" as in my gas pains and rock in the stomach feelings are pretty much gone! I finally went out to town to Tarjay yesterday and had a blast! (I reaaaaly missed walking the stores)

I am 10 lbs down and just thrilled. I get my staples out on Thursday and first official weigh in on the docs scale.

Have a beautiful day!

      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.
