Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I haven't been on in a while but I have come to be updated and to update others..

OMG I finally got my date :confused: My pre admission appointment is on the 4th of July and my operation date is the 12th of july...

I am so scared but so excited at the same time.. I have read and read and read up on the operation and the aftermath but I somehow feel so un prepared for it.. So any words of advice would be greatley appreciated let it be small or big please share..

Oh and also just a quick question.. Where do I find the liquid Vitamins? And what one do I ask for??

Oh and p.s Fee if your still around I got into Williamstown Hospital :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Take care all and talk soon.. Im off to do more homework WooHooo

You will do fine. I feel great and I was banded last wednesday. I thought the surgery was the easiest thing I have ever done. (surgery wise). tiny sips...... i drank too much too fast the first few days and I madethe gas pains worse. I have learned...... Good luck.

Aww thanks guys.. It's appreciated..

I know in the end it's going to be all worth it.. And I don't even know what it is I'm scared of exactly.. Ive had surgery before (Gallbladder removal ) And that wasn't to bad and this is kinda similar right? Instead of taking something out they are putting something in.. I'm thinking the pain after surgery might be similar to that..

Maybe it's going to be the hugeeeeee lifestyle change.. I thought I was so ready for this but since I got my date I am absolutley shitting myself..Maybe just excitment and not knowing nerves.. I can't wait though I am counting down the days...

pplqueen I've read about that and my dietician has told me I am allowed to drink 30 mls every half hour.. Im such a drinks monster that's going to be the hard part I think..

Cheers guys and congrats on your weight loss

      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.
