Thanks Olivia_99. Good for you on having the fish and veggies instead of the pizza. Pizza is one of my favorites so I can imagine how hard it must have been. Have you been banded long?

That's great. I am still waiting for approval, The insurance wanted the last 2 BP readings sure wish I could use what it was last night (191/98). They had to request the surgeon to resign the verification, someone else had done it and the insurance wanted his signature. Dud, who would have thought. Right now my "walking" consists of our dogs walking us but it's a good work out.

I love snow, we don't get much here in TX. It was 28 Sunday morning (we were RV camping) and it supposed to be mid 80s Thursday. Go figure.

      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.
