Hi,

My initial consult was yesterday, today I began the pre-op liquid diet and my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 21, 2009. Everything is moving soooo fast, but that's ok because I have wanted this for years! I'm nervous and hungry! I look forward to all the support and supporting others as well. Let the countdown begin...:thumbup:

I hope I'm on the right sept group. I'm now on day 3 of liquid pre-op diet. I hope today is easier. I'm tired of being hungry and cranky. I do like drinking "muscle milk" because it tastes least like a Protein drink.

Ariane, we are being banded on the same day! I will start my liquid pre-op diet Monday. I am not looking forward to the diet, but I am ready to start my new life as a bandster!

Hi Sharie3,

Thanks for responding. That's really great that we are being banded the same day. We are very similar in age and weight. It will be so awesome to someone else who is in the exact same boat. I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and it's a little easier. Don't get me wrong...it does suck, but I'm looking forward to the surgery and my new life.

I bought and rode a bike today for the first time in 20 years! I loved it and can't wait to weigh less so I can enjoy riding with my kids.

Thanks! I know...I'm excited and nervous. You only have 3 more days! OMG! I think I joined a Sept group, not sure. I'm still getting the hang of things on this site.

      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.
