Well I did it... I went in at 730 am this morning and they took me back for surgery about 1020am . I feel good but the DRY mouth sucks big time:cursing: I got home about 400pm I had a chicken Soup (broth) everthing is going good. I just knew everything was going to go good because I had a talk with God and it just made me feel so at ease.:thumbup: I think you just have to belive in your self and know you are worth it!!!

Congrats and welcome fellow bandster. I am still pretty new to this myself. The banana pudding idea sounds pretty good I will have to give that a try. Glad that everything went well for you, you will be sore for the next few days but keep the faith!

      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.
