Getting Banded in 5 hours!!



Recommended Posts

What a day I had yesterday...

I did my pre-op stuff on Monday and got the "all clear". Got myself all psyched up for my banding which was going to be on Friday, Jan. 22nd, then I get a call yesterday from the surgeons office saying the doctor cannot do it on Friday and is moving it to Thursday, the day before. Well, the problem is that my hubby took Friday off of work, not Thursday. I have all of my arrangements made for my children too. If I don't do it on Thursday, then I have to wait two weeks for the next available date. I am so sad!!! My hubby tells me just to wait for the next available date because he is pretty sure he can't get the day off with that short of notice. I let the surgeons office know that I will take the Feb. 5th date. Well, guess what? My hubby must have heard in my voice, how sad I was and he called me back at work to tell me that I was having it done on Thursday!! My hubby called his boss, explained everything to him and they just switched out his days, so he off on Thursday. Then he took care of the arrangements with our children. He then called the surgeons office and made sure that the Thursday slot was still open and yes it was... so here I am!!

I have the best husband in the world... he took care of everything and made it happen!! I am truly blessed!!

Talk to you all later tonight... wish me 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.
