Hi all, my name is Rocko. I live in Sarasota, FL. I'm 6'0, 340lbs. All my paperwork was submitted on 3/5/07 to my Insurance Company. My Surgeons Coordinator said to give it anywhere from 4-5 weeks to hear back from them. Well first thing yesterday Morning I got the call, " We've heard from the Ins. Co. your all set to go, your Surgery will be 3/27/07 (2 weeks)" Wow! It's not that I'm not Pumped! I am!!! But I was mentally preparing myself for the past month, you know, for the 2 weeks Pre-Band, all liquid, no solid food. But it's been just about 24 hours with nothing solid, and I'm still here First time in my 41yrs I've gone a day w/o solid food. I never thought I'd be able to do it. But now does it get easier as each day passes by, or am I gonna hit a wall and want Real Food?! Well I took precautions, I emptied out the fridge, and the pantry today. My Mom, and Son were Happy to get all the goodies!
Is anyone else Pre-Band now? I mean on the liquids? My Doctor put me on Optifast Shakes, 800 Calories a day. Now while on this does anyone know if it's OK to have Sugar Free Popsicles? I will not sway from this unless I know for a fact it's OK. I just want this all to bad.
Well that's where I'm at. BTW, this website is the best, so much information. So thank you all~~:biggrin1:
