My surgery is Monday! can't wait to be banded



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the replys! I'm very anxious right now, but i know its just my nerves and i'll be fine. my surgery is outpatient, but they may keep me overnight if the doc thinks its necessary. i am a chapstick addict so i will have one with me, packing my bag right now. My surgery is not until noon tomorrow, so I will have all morning to make myself crazy! lol

Good Luck to everyone who is having surgery tomorrow! lets keep eachother posted!:)

Good luck Trish77. I just finished packing and I did remember the chap stick. I will be overnight so I packed more than I need, but you never want to be short something you want/need. I am so excited, nerves have not kicked in yet. Just so happy to be starting the banded journey!!

      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.
