Surgery Date 11/22 Anyone Else?!?!



Recommended Posts

No I have a surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I went to GNC today to pick up some protein/whey powder for my post op Protein drinks. It was quite an experience! There's a lot to choose from out there.

Will be banded on the 22nd as well. The reality of it all happening so soon is beginning to make me

anxious as _ _ _ _!!! (HELL)

Never had surgery or general anesthesia. So nervous!

I didn't have a pre op diet, so I have been eating all of the things that I know that I wouldn't be able to eat post band!

Looking toward a thinner, healthier future!

I would like to wish all of the future bandsters (especially those on 11/22) good luck and a uneventful recovery! ;)

Hi,

I am haiving Protein Drinks 3 daily with lots of Water, some Jello and I make my Protein drinks with skim milk. Do you feel better after a few days? Good luck to you!

Dear November Bandsters! Good luck to everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!! I will know tomorrow if I go in on Monday at 7:30 am or not...problem with my insurance. If not, then it will be Dec. 7th...may be a good thing if it is Monday, since I am so nervous...and it will be a surprise!! Just got the book Bandwagon and its a God send, as you all are to me...a lot of good advise and information. The more we know the better...God bless!

Hi There! I too went to GNC and got Isoopure's liquid Protein which I found to be much more palatable. I am also getting banded on November 22nd... three more days! Please stay in touch and good luck with recovery!

dear soundman: I grew up in providence rhode island and went to school in massachusetts. Where in ri are you from? I am also getting banded on november 22nd... Just three more days! I didn't have to do the preop either so i have been eating my way through each day with a sadness and relief at the same time that i will never have to see these foods in these portion sizes again. Where are you getting banded? What hospital? Good luck to you and safe recovery! Stay in touch.

      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.
