Maybe its not really nerves but the excitement of taking care of yourself? I was so ready to get the band when I did, I couldn't wait. You are young and I am sure healthy, or you wouldn't have been approved, so the surgery should pose no problems for you. Good luck and live every moment of this life changing time to its fullest.... its all for you now! Take care of yourself!!!!

Hi Linda,

My partner was banded yesterday. It was a bit rough after surgery but she's doing really well today - we're even going to visit some friends tonight. Hope you're doing as well as she is.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

      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.
