I'm going to be there tonight! I missed the last meeting due to work, but I'll be there with my mum as my sidekick. I'm super excited... I've got a date for my surgery!

Whoopee! Saw you at the meeting last night and really happy for you. If there is anything at all I can help you with just call. When do you go on the pre op diet? What type of pre op diet are you being put on? Did Dr. W. explain what you are trying to accomplish with the pre op? Any question if I can't answer, I am sure someone else will read the post and chime in.

I am so busy that I can't get out to meetings with twins at home. I have my lapband date for nov 5 with Dr. W. I had my anasteology consult and cannot wait to get this done. I have been researching WLS for at least 6 months.

mom2 very exciting news. If you can't make the meetings, and need support just e mail me. Dr. W. does the surgery, and has you back to see him but he doesn't really have a supporting clinic. So if you need literature on what to eat and how much, I can scan what I have and send to you. Going it alone for the first while can be scarey as you don't know what to expect. Take care and congratulations on both the twins and your upcoming 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.
