Getting Banded on May 23rd



Recommended Posts

Hi! Been looking at the forums off and on and its time for an intro. I started this Journey around Feb 10th. So far leading up to surgery I lost about 30 pounds. I was doing about 1500 calories a day to get ready. Now I am on the more restricted modified liquid diet of I guess just under 1000 calories. My Dr. is Dr Burch from the Cedars Sinai weight loss clinic in Los Angeles. I am both excited and nervous about the upcoming surgery. I guess my biggest worry is missing eating like I used to, but I am also ready to make the change.

Thanks... The pre-diet is not so bad as long as I keep busy... Had a nice walk today, went to a book signing and met Betty White, spent the afternoon with friends. Posted a pic of me and Betty White on Facebook and got a nice complement on the weight loss so far.

      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.
