I will be banded November 23. I am scheduled for November 18, but I'm trying to change it to the 23rd because everyone's telling me to wait until after my birthday party, which is the 21st.

Congrats! I just got my date too, which is December 7th. I was scheduled for November the 19th, but had to change it due to work related issues. I pray everything goes well with your surgery! Congrats again!

Congratulations!! I found out my sugery date this morning. It is November 19. I have to admit I am a little nervous but mostly excited. When I got home today I was so excited that it's a good thing my family wasn't home because they would think I had lost my mind. I was, and still am on a "high" you might say. :smile2: I'm a little crazy, squeeling, and I would be jumping up and down if it wasn't so hard to get more than a couple of inches of the ground.

Anyway, good luck!!!

      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.
