Banding In November 2012...



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Anyone getting banded in November? I am going in on the 7 November, and starting to get everything together for my big day :) - anyone going in there, to share the journey with?

Any advice, or ideas on how to make the first two weeks bearable would be great and welcomed!

Wish me luck!

That's great that we are all getting it done in the same week - we might have to be pen pals in the first couple of weeks, and let each other know how we are all doing. I am nervous and my dr hasn't given me any pre op diet, just only liquids the day before. The post op is stricter though. I am so excited, I really feel that this is going to be the drastic change I need, otherwise it will just grow and gro and grow. No thanks!

Good luck to all of you :)

      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?

      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.
