Surgery In The Morning



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Diane. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. A little nervous, a little excited. Things have progressed very quickly from my decision to persue the Lap Band to my pending surgery. I guess I'm lucky in that regard but it all seems a little surreal.

Best wishes to you! You will do great... just think about how great your life is going to be after you get this all set! Fight through the discomfort, walk as much as you can as soon as you can and do whatever your doctor tells you. Good luck tomorrow!

Hey Diane -- I'm tomorrow too. Without seeing your post, I pretty much just wrote the same thing -- I can't believe how quickly this has all come to be! And tomorrow, we'll be banded!

I'll be sending you lots of healing thoughts.....

Congratulations! Mine was quick too but good thing or I would have chickened out. :) I bought a book about lap band successes to keep me in the right frame of mind while healing. Good luck!

      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.
