thanks AIT, I am pretty nervous about the whole thing. I have done my homework and I have just started eating low fat, as my doc does not require liquid, but I want to shrink my liver enough so there are no compications.

I also notice I am getting very emotional lately. I have the feeling I am in for a ride...I am also excited to get this going.

I am in Astoria where are you?

My name is Laurie

My surgeon requires two weeks of liquids pre-surgery, so I'm having a bit of a party until then. I figure this is it for the rest of my life! I am not really nervous, I only freak out when I read complications threads on here so I've been staying away.

I live in Manhattan, my name is Rochel.

Ok I hope I remember this. Click on anyone's ticker and it will take you to the site, and you create a pin which will then let you make your own ticker. Once you have the ticker you copy the link and paste it here. To paste it you go to User CP at the top left corner and then click on Edit Signature and paste the link in.

Hope that helped.

I'm being banded on Thursday, March 12th. Can't wait! I like March Melters too because I'm from Michigan and so sick of the snow AND the weight! Looking forward to more than snow melting in March!

Hi Miniband & Picklesix, I am in Clewiston. Not to far from you. But I am having my surgery done in Lake Worth.

Hey louandboosmom, welcome aboard . I'm half really excited and half scared to death, how about you? I really really want to succeed at this, I've failed so many times before. How far is Lake Worth from Clewiston?

Hi Everyone,

I have been posting on a thread called 'anyone know Dr Chris De Bruyne' he is a doctor who performs the band sugery in Belgium, a lot of people like me from UK go there to have their surgery as it costs a fraction of the price if you had surgery in UK. Anyway I see you have all mastered the art of tickery! Well done, I would just like to know how a thinner me has already lost 17lbs and surgery is not scheduled until the 23/3! Well done, what have you been doing?

As you can see from my ticker I have lost no weight so far, actually I have most likely been putting it on as since I got my date for surgery 17 March I have become more obsessed with food then ever,,,eating everything in sight!

Anyway I hope to lose a little when I start my pre-op diet on the 3 March. I look forward to joining all of you 'March Melters' and lets hope the name is a good omen and we do all 'melt' away!!!

      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.
