Thanks Margo, I have been too busy today to think much about it. I know tonight when I settle down, the old mind will be doing it's thing, a bad case of the "what if's"

After reading all the good things from others, I know this is a step in the right direction. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new phase in my life.

HI! I am hoping if all goes well with the insurance August 29th! I am thrilled one of my coworkers got approved and it is only a matter of days for my approval. He actually got the nod a few days ago. I am terribly excited!

I also want to add too all of us August bandsters. Here's to a new beginning of our lives with much success and happiness, as our bodies begin to shrink, and we become healthy and happy with our new lifestyles.

I will be praying for all of you as your surgery dates get here. Looking forward to hearing from everyone after your surgery, best of wishes to everyone.

Good luck to those of you who are having your bands tomorrow. I will say a prayer and keep you in my thoughts.

And will be impatiently waiting to hear how it all went.. So don't forget to post when you feel up to it...

Here's to our new and improved lives...

      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.
