Ok, I am so excited about my surgery on thursday, I think I have developed some form of ADD.. I can not concentrate on anything. I start to pick something up at work, and then my mind whips back to thinking about the band.

It's crazy.. Has anyone else become this overly excited, perhaps obsessed about thinking of the procedure before the date.

I have read books cover to cover, packed my bag.

I feel like a child waiting for christmas morning.

I'm 52 for god's sake. Some times I find my self just gigeling.

I can feel my adrenaline running...

Such a good feeling, but I better get some focus..

Be well.

I understand what you are feeling. I get banded Nov. 10th. I haven't been able to get anything done at work. I start to daydream about shopping in "regular" stores. And "jogging" with friends.

      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.
