Being Banded tommorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Haven't posted in a long time. Got discouraged after the insurance company tried to tell me the doctor sent in someone else's paper work & I would have to wait another 6 - 8 weeks for approval.

After many hurdles & insurance difficulty I am finally having surgery tomorrow. I can say that I am quite nervous & excited at the same time.

I have just suffered through the liquid pre op diet. Never want to do that again.

I have lost a total of 52 lbs. Since I started my journey.

For someone not in the process it is hard for them to understand. The family is happy that I have lost so much weight but when I went to see them they couldn't even recognize that I had lost the weight!

But I am looking forward to seeing the difference at Christmas time.

I wish everyone else good luck on their surgeries. & hope that everyone else has an easier insurance time than I did.

I just wish I wasn't so nervous.

      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.
