Surgery Date May 15Th



Recommended Posts

Hi All

I'm excited that I got my SD today. Now it's really setting in that this is really going to happen. I was given so much information today even some soap they told me to use the night before and on the day of surgery. Wow! Lots to read tonight, most of it I already know. Just wanted to share my wonderful news. Looking forward to connecting with some May Banders as well as the lovely Banders on LBT.

I'm end of may!! right behind you ladies! They won't schedule my surgery until my 6 month visit is complete which is on May 3.....so I guess I'll find out my band date then- they said it would be end of May, I'll be heart broken if its different.

      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.
