I was suposed to be a June bandster but had to resched to July 16th. I leave for Mexico on July 14th. I have been hanging out in the June group, but now that they are all banded, they are all looking forward to fills and Im the only one without surgery yet. :smile2: So I thought Id come in here and meet all of you so I can have someone to talk to about my surgery jitters. I think Id just be kind of annoying over there talking about how nervous I am about surgery and blah blah since they are all past that stage in their journeys. So Im looking forward to getting to know all of you and getting banded in less than two weeks. :eek:

Headin_to_Mexico, You know you'll always be a part of the June Journeys, and we wouldn't be bored by your pre-surgery jitters--we know just where you're coming from! But I do get how you want to talk to others who are in the same place. Good luck to you and all the other July Freedom Fighters (cool name!)! Stop in every now and then and keep us up to date on how you're doing. :eek:

Oh hi Juniper! I remember you. Actually the first surgery I had schedualed was in May lol But then right after I started posting with the May group, the swine flue scared the heebies out of me because Im going to Mexico, so I resched for June, and now July! haha Third times a charm! Even though I was only chatting with the May group for a week I remember you. Sorry to hear about your gall blader. I can see in your siggy that you had it removed. But July seems like a great month to be banded! Whats your date?

      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.
