Good luck to both of us! :smile2:

Make that Triplets!!! Me too on Thursday! I only had pre-op diet since last friday though. I am breezing through this because I had worked so hard in the last 2 months. I do have too confess though...I wish I would of had a "last meal". My birthday was Sunday and I did have a piece of b-day cake. (very small) but counted the calories in my daily log!!! What a wonderful road all 3 of us have ahead of us!!!

Good luck with your journey. It will be 3 weeks on Thursday for me. I concur....WALK, WALK, WALK after your surgery. The incision pains subsides pretty quick, but the gas pain can be challenging. I had no idea and it came as a surprise to me. So walk as much as you can for the 3-5 days following surgery. I promise you, it will help.

Best of luck to all of you!!!

Me too! I go in Thursday for banding. No pre-op diet from my doctor but I've been trying to behave. I do know I have gained weight since seeing my doctor to schedule my date.. I hope I don't get in trouble. I did ask specifically if I had to do anything pre-op and he said no just NPO after midnight Wednesday.

I have to admit I'm very nervous now.... I also have to give myself Lovenox injections for two weeks after surgery twice a day.

Good luck to all!:tongue2:

      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.
