Recommended Posts

I just had my freak put on a leash yesterday! Surgery was very easy, pleasant. Having some discomfort but no trouble with the liquid intake. Never thought broth and Jello would EVER taste so amazing!!! Good luck and love to all my 4/11 bandster buds! Let's get our shrink on!

Hahaha that chicken broth tastes like a really nice filet mignon when you can't have anything else doesn't it?? biggrin.gif

I'm right there with you. I report in tomorrow, the 28th at 9 to get my band installed. Feeling good. Did some bicep curls and tricep pull downs in the hotel gym after sneaking in some Tomato bisk Soup for my last meal. The fast begins at midnight. Good luck to everybody.

I go in tomorrow on April 29th! Oh I can't wait, but I hope I can sleep good tonight. This whole week I haven't slept good and I am so tired! Also had to be on a pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks and/or could do like a adtkins diet thing alittle, so had all liquids yesterday, today is all Clear Liquids and then at 4pm the fun begins! NOT! I get to drink this stuff that "Cleans" you out. Did anyone have to do this also? Its fine, but hope it is over sooner than later! I go in at 6:30 tomorrow morning so less than 24 hrs to go. When I started this journey I thought this day was never going to come and now its less than 24 hrs away. Oh I am so glad. It really did go fast! Congrats to everyone that has made it here.

      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.
