7/6/11 Surgery Date in NY!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited I had to post... I got my surgery date, it's going to be July 6th!!! Any other people being banded in July? Congrats to anyone who recently got a surgery date! I am very new to the site so if anyone wants to be message buddies I'd love that! Although I can't inspire anyone just yet, I could use a little inspiration... especially once my 2 week liqid diet starts.

I can't believe that one day I will no longer weigh this hideous number! :D

Thanks so much :) I know some surgeons don't require a pre op diet but I am glad mine does only because, like you said, it'll help prepare me for after surgery. Congrats on 37 lbs lost!!! I currently weigh 272, I hope to drop 37 in that time too. I know it takes alot of hard work but I'm ready.

      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.
