Rescheduled my band date to 10/7 :(



Recommended Posts

Thanks to everyone for their input on my sickness/infections and surgery. I wont be having band tomorrow. I will be scheduled for Oct 7th. This has really put me in a funk. I am sure you can relate-I had come to terms with the fears and had things kinda planned out. Anyway, waiting the month is the best.

Thanks again for your thoughts:) What a nice buncha bandits you all are:)

At least you HAVE a date! Some of us would kill for a surgery date.

Best of luck to you. :)

Even though set backs are never something to be cheerful about, October 7 will come SO quick. Trust me. Time flies when you're waiting and before you know it you'll be on the other side!

Get a flu shot now!! That will hopefully make it sure you are well for your next surgery. Take lots of zinc and Vitamin C for 3 weeks leading to your date too.

Mine was rescheduled twice. Sept 7th is my date.

Don't be down. With or without the band your diet, and health is 100% important. The band is just a tool for this whole journey. Good 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.
