Banding On Thursday...please Pray For Me...



Recommended Posts

Hey, Ya'll! My name is Dana Adams, and I am getting banded this Thursday. Tonight, I am struggling with so many emotions...I am EXCITED, happy, thrilled, nervous, scared, weepy, anxious,...you name it...I am! Oh! Forgot hungry!!! Heeee! No...really, I am not hungry. My doctor does not do the two week liquid diet that I have seen most folks do. Instead, I have been doing a low carb diet for the last two weeks. I have done fairly well...not lost a ton of weight or anything...but a little. Actually, I have been working on this weight loss thing for quite sometime. In the last six months, I have lost 42 lbs. So, I am on my way. I still have quite a bit to go, but I will make it! I know so, because God does not me to destroy the temple He has given me!

I am a praying woman, and I know that there are tons of prayer warriors on here...because God has brought me HERE! So, I ask you to keep me in prayer this Thursday...throughout the day, please. I thank you all so much!

In His mercy and grace,

Dana Adams

Where are you....I pray you are alright. I have my surgery in 4 days from now.

Lord...I pray for my sister that everything is ok. We send legions of angels to cover and surround her right now. We pray for a quick healing and adjustment with this new band inside her. We pray for wisdom and strategies for her to make a living with the band feel normal. You said in Your Word.....you have not because you ask not....and we asking for these things right now for our Sister in Christ. In Jesus Name we pray ~Amen !

      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.
