Surgery Tomorrow 7/28/2



Recommended Posts

OMG...I cant believe that it is tomorrow and right now I am so hungry. I have been crying all day and now I am about to do my clean out method. Maybe I am making a mistake...Right now I am missing food and I am dying to have a slice of pizza and cant believe that I may never be able to eat it again. I hate the fact that I was not able to do this alone. What am I gonna do if I cant eat...I think I am having a panic attack!!!!

I am going to be banded tomorrow also :scared2: I am definitely hungry right now but I just keep thinking I am going to loose weight! YEA! Yes I am nervous about the next few weeks but from what I read and hear it will get much better after week 4. Hang in there.

and you will eat again..I promise...maybe even a slice of pizza (well the topping for sure but maybe not a lot of the crust when you hit restriction) I get full from the topping now.

Everything will be just fine. I also felt like second guessing my decision but I am a week out of surgery today and I'm feeling so much better health wise already. I have lost a few pounds and I'm already feeling more alive and energized and not so controlled by food. It's a wonderful feeling, you won't regret it. :scared2:

Tab,

I'm having surgery tomorrow too! I have sought some friends online who have had the surgery and had private conversations with them. You WILL be able to eat pizza again. Like someone else mentioned maybe just the topping but from what I hear, the desire to eat an entire pizza like we have now will be GONE! I am so excited, today is my last day letting food control my life. Starting tomorrow, I am eating to live and not living to eat. Join me!

Good luck!

Hi,

wish I was getting the band today instead I went today to get the results of my stress test and he wanted to put me in the hospital for a angioplasty I have a slight block on the top of my heart and they don't know how much it has processed if not tested they won't do anything until it is 75% blocked so I asked him to wait until after I get the band and he agreed.I am just getting stressed out more waiting for my approval wish I only knew on way or the other.

      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.
