December 7th bandsters



Recommended Posts

I am getting banded on December 7th. I have mixed feelings about the whole process but I am determined to see it through. Haiting the liquid diet!!! The shakes are so awful and I am finding it very difficult to choke them down. I have resorted to one egg a day in place of one of my four shakes. I also don't mind the chicken Soup but beyond that I struggle. I am wondering what happens if you don't follow the diet completely?

Hi I am also getiing banded Dec 7th! I am so excited! Although i do question it all the time! Where are you having your surgery! The liquid diet was horrable the first couple days especially over thanksgiving! But its getting easier! I kinda like my shakes. I have cheated a couple times!

I am trying to be really strict on the diet since the date is getting closer. I don't want food in my system when I am trying to recover nor do I want to have problems being constapated after surgery with a sore stomach.

My surgery is in Spartenburg, SC. I think once we make it past the first two weeks, it should hopefully start to get easier.

I am also getting banded on December 7th! We need to be friends, ladies! My doctor isn't as particular. He says two shakes a day and then one sensible meal. I can only do one shake and two sensible meals. I am a teacher and I get extremely light headed if I do not eat. :( I am getting really excited but I have some major negativity surrounding me. I hate the negativity because it is making me more nervous. I wish it was Tuesday right now!!! I'm ready for a major life change.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
