Hello to everyone! I have been on this site for a few weeks now just reading all the threads and finally decided to join you all. It has taken me all these weeks to digest all of this new information but I am more determined now than ever to proceed down this road. I know I will not be alone because now I have all of you! I feel so well informed that I'm not sure I'll have any questions for the surgeon when I meet him later this month!:biggrin: Looking forward to being a part of all the success on here.

Hi Green Eyed Lady:

Welcome to the forum from a fellow Massachusetts bandster.

Any questions, feel free to send me a private message.

I'm in Norwood, MA. I was banded 7/26/07 by Dr. Adam Glasgow at Caritas Norwood Hospital. He's a terrific surgeon, nice man, and leads a great weight loss group.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

Hi Green Eyed Lady,

I'm from Foxboro and will be having my surgery at the Beth Israel. This process for me has gone by quickly. I will be meeting with my surgeon Dr. Jones in 3 weeks!!! I'd be more than happy to share any of my experiences so far with you.

Best of luck with everything!!!!

      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.
