I am getting excited, making sure I have things squared away at work. I am taking 5 days off and it runs right into Thanksgiving...so I won't have to go back until the 1st. :cool:

I think my friends and family are more anxious than me, I have had surgery before so it doesn't scare me. I am just nervous that they won't get all the air out and I will have to deal with the pain from that.

Well, good luck to ALL of us tomorrow! Sending many blessings and positive thoughts your way....here's to a quick recovery for all of us! I will post again as soon as I can!

Take care!

I am taking my jewerly off tonight and giving my rings to hubby to hold on to. My earrings are out and I will take my tongue ring out on the way. That is the one thing I am afraid that will close. But has been in for over 2 years now.........

My laptop and ipod are ready. I plan on using my music to walk to!

I am excited! A little nervous about the pain afterwards. But all in all........ready!

We can do it!

Good luck and god bless to all of you getting banded in the morning! My thoughts and prayers will be with you for a speedy recovery and a bright and shiny future. I was banded 11/7/08, and I can honestly say it was the best thing I've ever done for myself! :thumbup:

My surgery is scheduled for this afternoon. I had hoped to sleep in this morning, but was too excited to sleep. I will be staying overnight at the hospital and be home tomorrow. I hope I feel well enough to pop in and see how you all are feeling on Friday!!

Best wishes to everyone. Today is our first step to becoming new people.

      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.
