Tomorrow is the DAY!!!!



Recommended Posts

After two weeks of pre op tomorrow is my banding day. I had a nightmare last night that I woke up and they said I didn't need the band so they didn't put one in. What if I didn't shrink my liver enough? Anyway, I am ready to face to new phase....

How much have you lost since the pre op diet? If its five pounds it more, you're good. At least that's what I was told when I was nervousness about it.

As long as you tried to be perfect you should be fine. I was perfect because I so afraid of messing up everything.

Try to relax, take a bath, don't think of tomorrow as a surgery day, think of it as your new journey day and the wonderful time you will have following the yellow brick road to the end.

Good luck and keep in touch. Do you have a heating pad for the gas pains? That was the worse pain I had, also walking around helped.

      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.
