December Bandsters (Early Xmas present)



Recommended Posts

I decided to only tell my mother. My mom certainly isn't a vault when it comes to keeping secrets but she knows that I am a private person and don't want to share this with anyone. I hope she throws away the key on it!

LOL...I completely understand what you are saying. I specifically didn't tell my father because he can't keep a secret to save his life. If he knows then everyone he has ever met in his life will know too...that's just the way he is...

Supposed to be banded tomorrow (Nov. 2) but got postponed due to tonisilitis. Hopefully, I'll be banded mid-December

I most likely will be banded sometime in December. I am so excited and anxious. I have told my husband and daughters and my true best friends. This will be the best Christmas present to me. :thumbup:

I should be banded in early December too! I am really excited and as you can see from my name I am ready for a NewBee --new me. I have only told my husband, mother and one friend. I really don't want it to go further than that but I am trying to figure how I will hide my eating pureed food over the holiday. I suppose I could pretend my stomach hurts or something and not eat....

I hope we all can chat about our experience as Dec10 group!

I was tentatively scheduled for Nov 23rd but I got the call yesterday that it is most definitely going to be December 8th. Now I'm set in stone!!!

My birthday is Nov 20th so I was hoping to get it done sooner, but I'm not going to complain!!

Good luck all! :rolleyes:

I, too, am going to be a December "bandster". Just got my date of December 7th. I'm so excited and also consider this to be an early Christmas present. My doctor usually requires a 10-14 day pre-op liquid diet, but I only have to do it for 7 days because I've lost 25 pounds already. I'm glad to be having a "normal" Thanksgiving and hopefully be well enough to participate in my usual Christmas activities (well, except for the overeating. ha ha ha).

I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa!

      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.
