Okay, tomorrow is my big day! I'm both excited :D and scared :blink:. The pre-op diet that I worried so much about wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. The fact that I had to lose 29 pounds before surgery sure helped get in the right frame of mind to be faithful with it. I now find myself worrying about the surgery itself...that is goes well and with no complications. Trying to keep a positive attitude for the recovery process. May all other December Bandsters be well!

I'm getting banded tomorrow, Dec. 16th. I was only on a 5 day pre-op liquid diet. All has gone well and I'm looking forward to sharing our experiences as we move forward. Keep posting and sharing your success stories.

I was banded yesterday 12/16/2010. Everything went great! Very little discomfort. I'm walking around quite a bit to relieve the gas and all is going well. 15 pound weight loss from 5 day pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

Hi! I also was banded on the 8th of December. How are you doing? Have you lost any weight since banded? What did you start at? What have you been eating? Are you on solid foods yet? I would love to hear how you are doing!

Thanks!

I had to do the same thing! I was banded on December 8th. I lost 27 pounds before my surgery. and only 5 since my banding. I am so disapointed! How are you doing? What are you eating? I would love to hear more infor on how you are doing!

Dawn

After months of waiting and anticipating, all the details/approvals/visits are done, and it's now less than two weeks till my surgery (Dec. 6th.) The Nutritionist has me on a high Protein, low carb preop diet to try and shrink my liver, so surgery will be easier. Did anyone else have this same process? How did it go for you?

And on another note, as I start to get even more excited anticipating surgery day, I'm wondering if anyone else is as spun-up about their surgery as I am about mine? :blink:

Hi J! Your user name is hilarious... I am cracking up laughing out loud :-)

I had my surgery on Dec 10th. The first week was rough for me. I have my hands full with my kids so that made it worse. My husband was great though! Hats off to him. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and I feel a million times better. Swelling is gone, starting to walk, stitches are still in but bandages are off. Things are looking good.

Don't be in a hurry to re-coop. Take your time! I did alot of laziness! Something I don't normally do too much.

Feel free to message me if you have questions! Congrats to us! 2011 will be a great year......

      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.
