Hi Gabi -

I'm not officially on the schedule yet but I hope to be a March bandster, just waiting to hear on insurance approval.

As far as names...

Losin' Leprechauns

Melting March __________

Magnificent March _______

I'll be curious to see what other ideas come up.

I hope to get banded March 2nd, I need advice on what pre op shake I should be using.

I know there are some Protein bullets that I have bought from www.fitnessfirstusa.com and the product # is 9938 in the quick shop area. They are $56.00 for 24 vials and they are 3oz that deliver 42g of Protein. They come in about 4-5 flavors and I haven't tried them yet but will let you know how they taste when I do get them.

I also know that there are shakes that Trader Joe's sells that have 35g of protein and not too much sugar. You might try those if you don't want to order the bullets. :cursing:

Just got a tentative surgery date - March 9th! As long as insurance approves (and my surgeon's office said I should be - all paperwork is in order etc). I can't believe this is really happening! I'm thrilled :cursing:

I'm ready for my date on March 10! March Madness or March Melters works for me. I'm not so keen on Maidens, Hotties, Beauties, or Lovelies, even if I do end up being the only guy!

      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.
