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

Tomorrow is my date as well! Good luck to you.

Glad to hear your surgery went well. I am still in the early pre-op stage. I too have a hernia that will be repaired during my surgery so I will be following you to see how your recovery goes. Best of luck to you!

Good luck everyone - make sure you stick to your doc's rules post-surgery. It's tempting not to, but will make a big difference to your success in the long run. Best of 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.

My surgery is the 28th also, in south Florida, good Luck to you! I feel so nervous, and hoping this works for me and I dont have problems .

      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.
