Brandie, good luck. I understand. I have 10 days to go and I am not sleeping and eating more than I should. My feelings are all over the map. But I look forward to getting rid of my diabetes and maybe sleep apnea. I look forward to being healthy. Monday I start South Beach Phase1 to shrink my liver and then the surgery is October 13th.

Good luck. I was honestly so happy to be getting the band I never spent an instant being sad or blue or saying "goodbye" to food...especially since my surgeon said once I've healed and adjusted I'll be able, most likely, to eat anything. I'll just be happy with less. Not everyone likes or wants SUPER tight restriction, and not everyone has issues with every food. So to my way of thinking, I'll be more free than I've ever been, not less so.

Hope you recover quick and feel marvelous!

good luck. best advise i can give is to try to just relax. it really isn't a big deal. remember also, you may kind of freak out a few hours before surgery and question your decision. this is normal. don't 2nd guess this late in the game. you made this decision for a good reason so just let the day go by and before you know it you are done.

      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.
