Surgery Tomorrow 2/6



Recommended Posts

Hi all :)

I am finally having surgery tomorrow! I was originally scheduled for 1/29 and then had to get postponed because of a UTI.

Long story short, I never had the UTI. The lab contaminated my specimen and I was forced to retest and everything was perfect. So glad my doctor was able to squeeze me in!

I have lost 22 lbs on my preop diet since I wound up on it for an xtra week with the UTI nonesense.

Anyone else being banded tomorrow?

I am nervous for surgery but cant wait to be on the other side!

I did it!

I am officially banded! :)

I gotta say though this gas pain in my shoulders is horrible! I have my gas x and heating pad thanks to the tips I picked up on here but, boy does it hurt! How long does the gas take to go away? I am getting up and walking a lot as I know that helps too.

They also found a hiatal hernia when they did the surgery and repaired that as well.

      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.
