Thanks everyone! I'm getting ready to head to the hospital right now. I'm not overly nervous,more thirsty than anything. I haven't had anything to drink since 11 pm last night (midnight was last call).

Well here we go!:thumbup:

Hello everyone and thank you for the well wishes. I just got back home and I feel pretty good. No pain, just bad gas cramps. The surgery went well. The hardest part I think was not having anything to drink at all on monday. My mouth was so dry it was driving me insane!:cursing:

This morning I went to radiology and did the dye test and they said everything looked good so I was able to drink 1 oz. of Water every 15 minutes for three hours. They discharged me at 3:30 and now I'm lying down eating Jello.

Good luck to you Mr. Mike on your banding tomorrow.

Good luck to you too christykennison. The operation is a breeze you'll do fine:smile2:

      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.
