October bandsters



Recommended Posts

I am a little scared.....on my pre op diet they only wanted me to lose 5 lbs which isn't bad my scale was moving down yesterday AM I was 2lbs below what they wanted me at then this AM I was up 3 lbs. One freaking pound above what I am supposed to weigh this Friday. I don't want my surgery canceled due to one pound. I am really freaking out.

Congrats to all of the October bandsters that have been banded...good luck to the rest of us still waiting to be! My turn is October 15th and I'm on my 6th day of the pre op diet. Last night was the first night I wasn't tempted by my daughters dinner. So excited for this to happen!

My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 23rd and I see the doctor for the first time tomorrow - this seems weird reading everyone's posts, sounds like you have to go thru a pre surgery liquid diet? For how long? I'll have less than two weeks from by 1st appointment to having the surgery.

Anyone have time to post what the first few weeks are like?

Don't freak out too bad. Weight fluctuates naturally. Also, are you weighing yourself in the same clothes every day? Clothes weigh something too! :) Generally speaking, you're heavier later in the day and lighter earlier in the day, weight naturally fluctuates, so don't panic too much. :)

This AM was when I weighed which I do everyday...same scale clothes etc. Today after work back dead on my goal for Friday. One more day of work tomorrow then the official weigh in at the Dr on Friday. I am sure that I will be down lower in the AM just a freak out moment. I should be ok just nerves getting the best of me. I see myself wearing a light outfit on Friday.

Nerves got to me too, but don't worry, as long as you're doing your diet right, you should be fine! I lost 13lbs on my 2 week pre-op diet!

      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.
