Tamra- I know you will be fine. Everything you are feeling I am very familiar with. Know that it will go quick and in 10 days you will feel normal again but a lot thinner. I tell you this is the BEST thing I could have done for myself and my family. Keep positive thoughts and positive will come your way.

yep its your barium swallow. Your surgery will be at 8 unless they have more than one lap-band tomorrow. I will be there tomorrow but not until 2, and you will be long gone home by then! Just think, in 24 hours from right now you will be banded and on your way home!!! You may even already be home and walking around. It's gonna be fine!!

Yes that is the same time I had my barium swallow scheduled - although I ended up having it at 10:30 am. I believe it is a place holder. So it looks like you will be first up in the morning - if they tell you you need to be there at 6:30 am you will be the 8 am surgery. How exciting.

Hey Ladies & John

Talk about not sleeping - I'm EXHAUSTED - I finally napped yesterday for about 5 hours. This darn Cat has had me all wound up - I am damn near 3K deep for this gal! It cost 250.00 for lab work - UGH! Anyway - as of yesterday there is no more slobbing and she's pottying on a regular basis - she must be 100% cuz I have a few new holes in my hands. She HATES me - LOL - I'm the one that keeps forcing pills down her throat and taking her to see that awful man that keeps sticking her with needles - UGH!

So, back to the not sleeping - that's me but I keep rading the fridge at like 3 am - WTF?

Lee - no binder reviews for me either - just the test that you take out and hand to Liz.

Tam - I was weighed in two gowns. So excited for you - what time do you need to be there?

Heather - I am so friggin done with Brides/Weddings and all that jaz - However, we did pick out new dresses for the wedding so I can wear a bra now - whew! I just had to put my foot down cuz I can't be running around popping out the top of the dress!

Pammie - so sorry I didn't make it this weekend - I was so looking forward to it but my kitty was just awful! She almost had to get an enima (haha). All this for that little ungreateful brat cat!

Jes - sounds like the B-Day weekend was a success!

Dizllizd - Welcome to our humble group! Tell us about your journey...

John - hope you enjoy Cancun!

      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.
