YEAHHHHHH KERI!!!!! Oh Keri you are going to love the mixed cocktails. Once they put it in your IV you will be in la la land and when you wake up there will be ice chips with your name on them. Ummmmmm you are going to be amazed at how good you feel after surgery, just real druggy so don't fight it and go back to sleep

May God stay with you, our prayers are with you.

Congratulations, Keri!! You'll do fine - just make sure to rest up while you have a chance (if your house is anything like mine you can't rest at home lol) I'll send some happy thoughts your way :rolleyes:

Let us know how you went, when you're feeling up to it.

This is my first post, so most of you don't know me. I only found this site about a week ago, but boy have I learned a ton from all of your posts. Kari and I will both be banded tomorrow. I'm so happy to have met a band buddy through this site. My procedure is at 7:30, so I'm getting the doc all warmed up for Kari! I hope to post some more after I get back on my feet.

      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.
