I just received my date today. I am having surgery May 6th too! The count down begins. I like the shrinko de mayo's as well, and I have given some thought to names as well and had thought about may flowers or daisy Mays, May Maidens, Mighty Mays, May Masterpieces, May minimizers, may mini me's but I agree that the men might not like some of those names. Just some thoughts, I would like to hear what others May come up with.

Oh wow!!! May 6 bandsters on the loose!!! Woot!!! I just got the paper work today for my pre-surg work-up with anesthesiologist and pre-surg check-in with my surgeon on April 28.

I am doing a mostly "pre-op" strictness of diet, since I gained a few pounds since last visit with Surgeon, and he would not be happy to see me gained when I see him on the 28th... And then in two weeks, I start the for real strict pre-op diet as prescribed. At least I was on it, and strict, for a whole two weeks, so know that I can get through that part!

I feel better to have some more May bandsters get their dates!

I like mayo BANDitos too! Shrinko De Mayo is a classic... How about... MiniMAYzers???

      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.
