Congrats! My date is also 10/15! We should stay in contact and lean on on another for support. Sound good? I'll send you a friend request. Keep in touch.

Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I do. :tongue2: I start mine on the 1st. The Dr.'s nurse told me that I needed to have 3 Protein shakes a day and two healthy meals.(low fat, low carb)

Anyway, I can't wait. The 15th will not be here soon enough! :wink2:

Rulooknatme sounds great and it is nice to meet someone with the same surgery date. I do not have to do a preop diet but I am. I am going to being doing the new life style Protein Meal Replacement shakes and a healthy meal a day. I am really nervous but more excited to be getting this fresh start at weightloss with a tool I believe is really going to help me. Talk to you real soon.

I am getting banded Oct 14th at Maples in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am on day 6 of Optifast and am really needing support! I can have 3 Optifast and up to 2 cups of non-starch vagetables a day. Apart from wanting to chew my own arm off - things are great!! I am so looking forward to dealing with my weight issue once and for all. At least now when I do the right things I will see results.

Where is everybody from? I am from Regina Saskatchewan.

      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.
