Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on 9/11 and am on day 3 of my pre op diet. I'll be honest here it totally sucks. I'm should have 4 Protein Shakes a day, crystal light, broth, sf Jello etc..I had such a hard day today. I ended up having a lean Protein to combat the headaches. 7 more days of this... I hope I can hang in there.

Day 1 of this pre-op diet, wishing I could sleep the next 6 days away! Anyone else having a tough time? I didn't think it was going to be this hard, but I can't watch tv because the commercials are showing food all the time. Ahhhh....

I also have been avoiding watching TV to get through these 2 weeks of my pre-op. I am on Day 8. It's definitely challenging and tough, but the promise of what lies ahead is motivating me. Also, loosing some weight this week didn't' hurt either! Hang in there and try to distract yourself.

The first three days were really tough for me - but it does get better! And it helps to drink a lot of water!

I'm not hungry just miss tasting good food. I have indulged enough in life and if this is what I have to do I deserve it. With every commercial I see good food I get stronger. That's how I think of it anyway.

I'm getting my band on Thursday! Getting pretty excited and a little nervous now. This two week pre-op diet has been difficult to say the least. I am comparing this diet to quitting smoking. One of the hardest things I have ever done but I did it. I know I will be successful with this too, but it won't be easy. Today has probably been my worst day yet with this diet. Thankfully I have some hobbies that help keep me busy and mind off of the things I wish I was eating. I had a dream about onion rings and I swear I could smell them when I woke up. LOL Good luck and best wishes to everyone getting banded this month!

      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.
