Any bandings in April???



Recommended Posts

Mine is April 5th- OMG that's THIS FRIDAY!!! I leave for NJ from PA on Thurs April 4th where I'll meet w the doctor and do all that extra pre-op stuff left to do...so, I like to count April 4th as my day so that it seems even sooner! Lol. We need to stick together, especially we April banders! Learn from one another and keep each other inspired to keep strict with the directions/diet rules. I can speak for myself by saying that it'd b really good for me to have a or some buddies to tt while going thru this huge life change. Good luck to everyone and may the days pass by quickly bc it seems to be the longest wait ever the closed u get!

Yeah I'm nervous too. But that's normal with surgery. I keep telling myself I will be fine. They do these things all the time. But I wish it was here already. I want to get it done and over with

Mine is on 4/4/13!! I'm really feeling nervous now!!

What worries me is that my doctor did not put me on a pre-op diet?! But I am exercising and trying to eat better to prepare myself for this surgery...

What does your pre-op diet consist of?

I did not get placed on a preop diet either. My surgery is 4-5-13!! Ur a day ahead of me!

      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.
