Site Newbie & 7/18 Band Date



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled to get banded on 7/18 at 10am.

I am having a wide range of emotions right now. Excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, happiness, and a small bit of sadness.

I'm determined to follow all the exact guidelines so that I can be success story and fully experience all the positive effects of the band.

Wish me luck and I will be checking in this site...often!

Is this prep op or post op?? My doctor doesn't required a pre op diet, I had to do 2 weeks liquid after surgery and 1 week mushy foods and then introduce solids little by little! All depends on the doctor!

I didn't have to do a 2 week pre-op liquid diet either. All that is recommended is Clear Liquids the day before surgery. So I guess tomorrow I'll be drinking Crystal Light and Water & eating a light lunch/dinner....like salmon

      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.
