Hello all you November bandsters, Im another Stacey and Im being banded on Nov 9th, I have already lost 20 lbs , I started in July and weighed 291 and now weigh 280, but before that I was at 300, so i count those too..lol hey I worked hard to loose those lbs..

I must say i thought the process went pretty fast for me , met my surgeon on July 31 and did all the other apts in the following months, and my support groups witch were mandatory , and I went in last wednesday 10/22/09 to have my final apt with the medical dr and they said they would call me with a date. Friday came and they called and said I am booked for Nov 9th, WOW!!that was fast... I dont have to do any special diet, just keep trying to loose weight the way I have been. Im glad to know there are quite a few people getting banded and going through the same emotions as I am, and that we can take this journey together and support each other, I am excited to be getting banded, but when its night time and early in the morning,, my mind starts running away with me with worries, Am I doing the right thing??? Will I be sorry afterwards that I did this?? I know all my health reasons are the reasons I chose to do this to begin with ,I guess its prebanding jitters and we all get nervouse I just pray we all have safe surgeries and speedy recoveries so we can be on our way to being the thin , sexy woman we are inside...lol Stacey

      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.
