Recommended Posts

Welcome everyone!!

I'm not sure if I want to name my band until I get to know her... I might need to change it based on how well we get along.:D

I just got my Ins approval!!! Yeah! I have to book my surgery Monday but we talked about April 18th.

I'm just not looking forward to the 2 weeks liquid diet, but super excited!

Good Luck to everyone!

It feels so unreal to be able to say that I am getting banded. It has been a long process but totally worth it!!!! I am April 14th as well!!! I'm only anxious about anesthesia...I have never been in the hospital for more than just an ER visit, so the while the procedure doesn't scare me, the anesthesia does! I work in a hospital on a surgical floor and I see dozens of people every week that are perfectly fine post anesthesia so I know I'll be fine!

Congrats to everyone who is getting banded this month...let's go ladies and gents!!!

Hi my name is Willow--Mine is on the 18 of april at 10:45 am! Just got my date last week. I am so excited, I have a couple of weeks with not much to do except get used to the liquid diet--I started early in case I have trouble at first I want to be able to go into the "real" preop diet with sucess, what else can I do anyway but get ready for my new life habits, right. In just less than 2 wks I'm down 26 lbs. Then in the 1st week of april I have my preadmit, my cardiologist appt, my pulmonary appt, final visit with my primary care dr and then the big day!! I wish you and all of us, a journey filled with insights, hope, joy and a new appreciation for the people we are and hope to become. congratulations!!--

      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.
