Welcome to the pumpkin Patch!!!:rolleyes2: We are smashing pumpkins around here. That is fast! I hope times flies for all of us before our surgery. I am still trying to learn as much as I can. There are some good books out there too. I love these boards. I wish I could spend the whole day on them!

Does your birthday have to be in October or just your surgery date? My surgery date is October 3 but my birthday is in November. I have less than a week now before I am banded. I am soooooooooooo excited.

Thanks Bridgette. It seems like time is slowly passing by. Next Friday is the big day. I have already got all my Vitamins and the food I need after surgery. I have a bag packed just in case I have to stay over night. But I am optomistic, I'll do fine and I will be able to come home the same day. I have been doing everything I am suppose to, to get rid of the "liver fat". I can't wait to get rid of "ALL" the fat. I have been on my pre-op diet for a week now and I have already lost 8 lbs.

Well, it's Saturday and I have chores to do. I'm trying to get the house all clean, so I won't have to worry about next week and after surgery.

      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.
