Tomorrow is my surgery!



Recommended Posts

Well, tomorrow is the big day, FINALLY! I have been on a liquid diet for 5 days and I feel like eating my arm off! I have lost 8 pounds total before surgery, and I can't wait until I reach my goal! For now, I just have to say, I am getting banded tomorrow at 8:30am, North Cypress Hospital, by Dr. Waggoner.

Please pray for me and See you on the other side!:P

Same goes for me about tomorrow 8:45am is my time. I have read many people saying how they where so nervous the night before that they didn't sleep well. I think its not so much nerves but hunger that's my problem right now I am so hungry I can't fall asleep. Will be praying for all and good luck.

Good luck to all of you.... my big day is the 28th so I can only imagine how excited you are tonight. I don't know about you but I keep thinking about so many different things. The main one being that there is an actually end insight of not being overweight anymore. And its not a question of "IF" this works but "when" it works.

Hey Guys! Thank you for your support! I did it! I finally got my band!

Surgery went well, Dr Waggoner is awesome, he also corrected a hernia while he was there by the way. I didn't have pain on the incisions, but gas pain that was (is) killing me! I am still at the hospital since I am still unable to pass gas. I have walked, walked walked, sipped liquids every 15 minutes, and still those stubborn gasses are stuck! I will be discharged later today though. I will keep you guys posted!

      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.
