Hope everything is going well!!

My surgeon is aiming towards the end of July for mine, although it really depends on the insurance company and how long they take. Unfortunately, I can't even submit the paperwork until I meet with my endocrinologist on the 30th (he wanted to meet with me before he gives me a note).

Everything went well for me...Surgery was at 1:00 and I was discharged at 8:00 (eastern time) I havent had any bad pain or any neasua at all; I was given liquid percocet (sp?) and that is working for the little bit of pain I am having. I am really glad I made this choice. I hope everything went well for the others getting banded today! Congratulations!! WOO HOO

      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.
