Surgery date is 6/1/10!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so EXCITED but ANXIOUS about being banded on 6/1. My mind is racing and I keep having second thoughts. I know this is what I WILL do but the anxiety won't go away!!!! I'm paying myself and thoughts keep torturing me of what all I can do with $10k!!! I'm trying to keep myself busy, busy, busy so I won't think about things too much. My doctor told me because my BMI is 32, he would only do 1 incision on me. Did anyone else only have 1 incision?

My doctor also gave me a 3day pre-op diet......so far, so good---but I do want to chew on something and that something is not ice!!!!

Any suggestions? Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I WILL do this, I'm just anxious!!!:cursing::blink::cool::blink:

Something would be wrong if you weren't anxious. I will pray for you! It has been almost 2 years for me. I was thinking right up until surgery that I had lost my mind but I have not regretted it.

      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.
