The Big Day Is Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Well, here it is........the day before the BIG day!! I'll find out this afternoon what time I have to arrive at the hospital tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it's early so I can get it over with.

The process of getting Lap Band has gone so fast. It's hard to believe that I was just at the seminar 3 months ago! Time really does fly! I wanted to say Thank You to everyone for sharing their surgery stories and experiences. I think it's helped better prepare me, although I know nothing can fully prepare me for the surgery and the days after. But pretty soon I will have experienced it for myself.

I been so calm and cool up til now! The nerves are starting to hit me this morning. This is really happening. But I look forward this journey. This is one battle I'm going to win!

I worried myself sick the night before and the morning of. I was pretty much crying inside as they wheeled me to the OR. But, honestly, it was quick and easy! You'll do great! :)

I was terrified the night before. It was amazing afterwards how easy it was. The pain goes away after a few days and you kind of forget it was ever there. Definetely was glad I spent one night in the hospital afterwards. Good Luck to everyone tomorrow!!

      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.
