January 25 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Wow, you ladies have lost a lot of weight so far! I'm down 6 lbs but that also includes the fact that it's that time of the month. I'm a little nervous but pretty excited. I can't believe that we only have 2 days left of life before band!

Good luck on your drive! I have to be at the surgery center at 645 am central tomorrow. I totally agree that the last few days of the pre-op have been killer. I've been having mad hunger pangs. Ok, ladies, remember that we are all in this together!! Yippee, here we go on our path to new selves.

I went through some of those questions this morning too. I think that this is normal to question this big change but the benefits will outweigh the negatives :)

      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.
