Recommended Posts

Hi All -

I will be having my surgery next Monday, January 10th - I am excited and nervous! But mostly I am looking forward to starting my new healthy life! I am having it done at Duke Raleigh in Raleigh, NC. Anyone else in NC or having the surgery done on the 10th?

I have also started a blog for my journey...would love for you to check it out!

Yay!! I’m getting banded on the 10th also! Oh my goodness I never thought the day would come! So many part of me are so darn excited and other parts just want to know if it is all worth the money. I just don’t want anything bad to happen down the road … I tend to over think things!

But gosh YAY YAY YAY we are so fortunate and we have a chance of a life time! Good luck! Keep us all updated!

      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.
