I'm feeling better... but I'm still "feeling" if that makes sense. I can feel a little pinchy squeeze of the band. Good news is I jumped through the first hoops sucessfully and get to bypass my primary doc and go straight to Gastro. I should get a prize. I'm on hold now trying to schedule the Gastro appt.

Thanks for asking. Sorry for not participating so much, but I'm trying hard to pull away from LBT during work hours since I have a great amount of respect for my job. It's not fair to them, and they've been super understanding of all my Band problems.

I'll let you know what happens at the Gastro, but I have a feeling I'll have to study some soap operas for really bad acting skills. If I have to break down and shudder in tears to get an endo, well that's what I'll do!

Don't worry about endoscopy - I had one and they knocked me out - I didn't feel a thing. I just woke up and told my DH to get me some mac and cheese - haha!

      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.
