polkie1, Hi and welcome! Yes I am nervous, but also very excited for Tuesday to come! I have been on my pre-op diet for 9 days now and have lost 11 lbs. It was very difficult the first 3 days, but after that it became easier. I am so determined to be banded and change my food behavior...I think that is the key. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? Some surgeons don't require it.

Hi abbypoo, No, I am not offended at all because I am the same age as your Mom! Sorry I got so confused with who's surgery date is when. I am starting to get a little nervous, since Tuesday is my surgery. But I am also excited about it at the same time. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Seckert08, you poor thing when it comes to IV's!! Maybe you can ask them to give you something orally that you can take the morning of surgery or as soon as you get there. Talk to your surgeon about it before hand and ask him if there is anything they can do to help you with that.

The pre-op diet was tough the first couple of days...but I was determined to do it! After the third day, I wasn't even hungry anymore, but still missed eating regular meals with my family. I'm on day 7 and I have adjusted much better knowing I have now lost 8 lbs. since starting it!! When I struggled, I came to this site and read posts that encouraged me to hang in there...at least I knew it was hard for a lot of people. But, I'm almost there! August 4 is band day!!

Jenny, You have your surgery the day before me!! I'm on August 4th. Thank you so much for the congrats and encouragement with the pre-op diet. Are you still hanging in there with yours? I find I am not hungry, but I am enjoying the "smell" of the foods around me...when I am able to eat again, I will definitely be savoring every bite! I have had no trouble giving up soda or chocolate, no cravings for them either. Bur I am craving SALT so much that last night I "licked" the salt off of ten pretzels and threw the rest of the pretzel out! How bad am I??? (LOL) Those of you have not done your pre-op diets make think I am crazy...but wait till you start yours...you'll understand!! (LOL)

Almost there...any CT or August 2009 Bandsters?
nancyjean replied to Jendela's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi, There is a thread that has been started for August 2009 bandsters. Please join us there...Just search for "August 2009 Bandsters" and it should bring you to our group. I'm Nancy from Massachusetts and I am being banded on August 4th by Dr.Adam Glasgow in Norwood, MA. I am on day 7 of my pre-op diet and have lost 8 lbs. already! -
I went to the support group session at Dr. Adam Glasgow's(my surgeon) office tonight, just to get some more feedback from other bandsters. There were 30 people there...pre-op and post-op. Well worth it; glad I went!!

Hi Everyone! Well I'm almost done with Day 4 of my pre-op diet and I'm down 8 lbs already! Today was much easier...being at work helps me a lot. This is the first day I actually did not feel hungry. Don't know if it will be the same for you when you start your pre-op diets...or is there anyone in our group who does not have to do a pre-op diet??? (Lucky You!)

Jenny how are you doing on the liquid diet????

Hi August Bandsters! Well I am on Day 2 of my pre-op diet. I am eating sugar-free tropical popsicles, chicken broth, cyrstal light with one scoop of unjury twice a day so I get my 40 g. of protein and lots of cold ice water. Yesterday I "floated" 9 times to the ladies room at work!! Today it is not as often, thank goodness! Eight more days of doing this, I should definitley lose some pounds! Surgery is August 4th and I am so ready!! I will tell you, if I were not so motivated, this pre-op diet my surgeon requires (for liver reduction, weight loss and to see if you stick to a liquid diet) would be very very difficult. I passed up on going to a cookout today with my hubby because I did not want to torture myself with all those great cookout smells!!! Who starts their pre-op diet next?? Let me know how you are doing...
-
Hi everyone! I finished up all my appointments today!! I had my pre-op at Caritas Norwood Hospital, had my pre-op with Dr.Adam Glasgow and had my pysch appt. with Dr.Newman. Signed the consent form for surgery and I am all set! Start my pre-op diet on Friday, July 24 and am having surgery Tuesday, August 4 in the morning...yipeee! I am so ready for all of this to happen!
-
Thanks knwitham! Do you have Blue Cross of MA? My surgeon gave me the impression that there's no problem with them...
-
My Blue Cross of MA authorization came in the mail today!! Yippeeee! 29 more days till I get banded!!!!
