Ok this is more exciting as crazy as it may seem than many if not all first dates I ever had before I got married.

So this date is the date with the rest of my life. Hopefully a start of a beautiful new relationship with me, food and well food.

I am so excited. I have no reservations or fears.. as of right now. I only told my husband the date. As it turns out my parents to my surprise are less than thrilled about my decision. This is the first time in my life I have not sought approval from my parents. It only took me 33yrs to obtain this feeling. So anyhow. I decided that I am not telling anyone in my family the date so they dont worry. I will just tell them when its done.

So now I begin starting the new me. But here is the screwed up thing about this whole process. I am over a month late. I have taken 3 test all negative so I figure its just nerves, stress ect. And here is the thing. (tell me ladies if I am wrong) I am only late when A: I want to get my tom and do whatever, or B: I have something planned. SUPRISE SUPRISE. I had decided a long time ago children is not something I want. I love my career and I dont feel I am cut out to be a parent. This is why I have 2 dogs. I love my boys more than it is probab to beconsidered normal. So if my beloved TOM does not come over the weekend I will be forced to go see my gynocologist and have him take a looksy. Yeah me. :lovechoc:

Now if you are still reading this then you are wanting to know my date. Well my date is Sept 30. I dont have to do any kind of preop stuff like liquids for 2wks before ect. Surprised? I know I was. Anyhow I just want to say thank you to all who have read this post and answered my and other prebanders questions. You truely have made a valuable contribution to those of us in the wings. It helps settle the nerves. I for one.. am gateful:smile2:

Hi Maranda,

Congrats on getting a date. As of today the 6th I am on day three of the Liquids. MY date is sept 18. I am excited for me and glad to have all the bandsters for support.

I know it is neve wracking about your TOM. I used to skip or be late when I was stressed. But at 47 going through menopause. Last night at work I was having cramps. I thought surely it has something to do with this liquids and going to start its been 8 months without. but my luck it will happen before at the day of surgery.

What do you do for a living just curious. Well got to go. Good luck and talk to you later. We wil do this together

Renea

      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.
