After 6 months TOMORROW'S THIE DAY



Recommended Posts

By this time tomorrow I will be on the other side of banding. OM GOSH!!! Its finally here. I'm not filled with anxiety as I thought I would be. I figure that as soon as I wake up I'll be past the hardest part anyways. Just taking this step was the big job. I'm sure many of you would agree. The pain will go away and the benefits will only get better. God has been with me on every step of this journey. He has been there for all the ups and downs of my life time. He will protect me all the way. I am so grateful and thankful to have him. I am so grateful for the many friends that I have, and the new ones I have made while on this amazing journey. This almost feels like a rebirth. I can't wait!!! Thank you everyone who has helped me along the way. B) I'll be talking to you soon. Linnie From Sunny Florida

Good luck to both of you Linnie and Becki! Tomorrow is not the brand new beginning....you started that the moment you made the decision for the surgery. Tomorrow is an affirmation of your dedication to yourself! Happy forever to you....You're gonna do great and be Hot Mommas next summer!

My date is next Thursday, providing that my approval comes through from BCN. My doc office tells me not to worry about it.

I'll be thinking about you and saying a prayer for peace for you and wisdom for the surgeons. God Bless

Chris

      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.
