I am from Raleigh, NC and I am getting my band on January 8th at 8am. I have to start my pre-op diet just two days before my surgery. Good luck and Merry Christmas to everyone. Keep us updated on your progress. I will try on my end.

I'm getting done jan 2/09 and started my pre-op diet 5 days ago - it hard, hard, hard. I have been doing ok until today. I don't know how I'm going to make it til my surgery with only eating 600 calories a day. I'm scared I'm going to fail.

January 13th seems to be a lucky day. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th at 7:30 by Dr. Floch in CT. It's been a long six months. Although I'm a little nervous about my liquid diet.< /p>

      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.
