Hi Ladies,

I am going in the morning for my EDG. I am surprised how calm I am. I am sure the fear will kick in tomorrow on the way. I can't believe that my surgery is in one week. How is everyone newly banded doing?

Wishing you all a great day! Prayers and love to all the surgery's going on from our group.

I will check in tomorrow.

Tammy :)

How did it go Tammy?!

I am very emotional today for some reason. Cried a lot last night and I am crying this morning. Physically feeling better and better every day. Have to go to bathroom a lot. Some pain is there at night/early am but otherwise not much of an issue. Yay. Hope everyone else is good!

Hey Ladies,

I am soooooo sorry. It was a crazy day. I did the psych apt at 7, then 7:15 am the ultrasound on my gallbladder and then then walked me over to the surgery center (same facility). I was okay till I got in their and then the nerves kicked in bad. Luckily they were great and got me in bed fast. The anesthesiologist was fast and they rolled me in. I had a bit of acid in my stomach and I have to take a pill everyday to reduce it. It shouldn't stop my surgery. I woke up fine felt a bit drunk. Then got in the car and came home. My Mom and Aunt came to "help" me but I was waiting on them. I woke up the next day with a bit of pain in my right side and I started my period. I don't know if it was the biopsy the Dr did or the period that caused the pain. Anyways no hiatel hernia so that is a bit of a relief. I am hoping that I will do good and won't be dying in pain. I sort of think my pain tolerances is high. I hope so anyways! Thanks for asking and checking on me. How are you guys doing? Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mothers Day too!

Tammy :)

Oh good :) glad it went ok.

I understand being stir crazy. Being on the pain meds I can't drive and get out of the house.

I am doing well. My pain is very light now and I have more energy. Monday afternoon is my follow up visit.

      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.
