.....'cause I'm headed to the loosers bench....APPROVED and SCHEDULED to be banded on November 12th by Dr. Aurora Pryor. I'm at a loss for words. I'm nervous and excited at the same time!

p.s. Sorry to all who will have that cheesy reference to the 80's in their head.

YAY!!!:regular_smile:

I just had my surgery last Monday (Oct. 6) and I'm doing good. I was back at work for 1/2 day on Thursday! I've already lost 19 lbs including the pre-op diet.

Good luck to you!

I'm from NC, too! I had my surgery at Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville.

Are you about to lose control? and do you like it?

Sorry, had to keep going with the lyrics.

Good luck. As Kat said, there is a wealth of information on this site; remember though there is no ONE answer to any question as everyone is just not the same as anyone else.

      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.
